* Engine type: Different engines in the Passat (1.8T, 2.0, 2.8, etc.) might have different fuel requirements.
* Location and Fuel Availability: Fuel regulations and availability vary by region. You need to consider what's available and recommended in your area.
Here's what I recommend:
1. Check your owner's manual: This will be your most reliable source of information on recommended fuel type, octane rating, and any specific fuel additives.
2. Consult a Volkswagen dealer or mechanic: They can help you determine the correct fuel type for your specific engine and model year.
3. Look for a fuel cap sticker: Some vehicles have stickers on the fuel cap that specify the recommended fuel type.
General information: Most gasoline-powered Volkswagen Passats will use regular unleaded gasoline. However, some models might require premium unleaded. Refer to your owner's manual or contact a Volkswagen expert for the most accurate information.
