I have an 85 GTi with the 1.8 CIS-E engine. 10:1 compression with knock sensor. Have always used the cheapest 87 octane gas around, except when autocrossing, when I try to run it out and put in a few gallons of the highest I can find. Have had no fuel system or engine problems. Bought the car with 93 k miles on it, now has 201k miles. Edward |
