What kind of gas does a Volkswagen Beetle take?

What kind of gas does a Volkswagen Beetle take? Does it matter what I pick at the gas station?

avatar
Melanie Mergen · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Yes, it does matter what fuel you choose at the gas station! Your owner’s manual will give you the rundown on what kind of gas a
Volkswagen Beetle
 takes—as well as what kinds of fuel you should avoid.
For certain Volkswagen vehicles that are pre-2016, sometimes premium fuel with higher octane ratings is required, but that’s not necessarily the case for newer Volkswagens. A 2019 Volkswagen Beetle, for example, is designed to take unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87.
For more specifications on different fuel types and additives and whether they’re compatible with your Volkswagen Beetle, refer to your owner’s manual.
In the time it takes you to fill your Volkswagen Beetle’s tank, you could find yourself the right
car insurance
 to keep it protected. That is, if you use the
Jerry
 app.
Getting started only takes about 45 seconds, and Jerry users save an average of $800+ per year on car insurance!

What Others Are Asking

How do I use the car scrapyard in GTA V?
I just bought the scrapyard in GTA V because some friends said it’s a great way to make extra money. All I got was a message that said I’d get $150 for every car that’s scrapped. Does that mean I have to figure out how to get all the cars I destroy dragged to this scrap yard?

How can I remove a car dent with a plunger?
Can a plunger really pop a dent out of my car? I got into a minor fender bender and there's a dent in my bumper, but it’s not severe enough to take to the body shop to get it fixed. I’ve heard people using a plunger to pop dents out of their car. How does this work?

How many times can you use AAA in a year?
I have an older car that has lots of problems, but I don't have the cash or credit to get a new car. I do have a AAA membership, but I don't know how much mileage I can get out of it. How many times can you use AAA in a year?
