Does the 2007 Volkswagen Touareg need premium gas?
Fuel grade varies by trim — see the breakdown below.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.0L 10-cyl, S6 automatic, AWD | DIESEL | 17 | $4,600 |
| 3.6L 6-cyl, S6 automatic, AWD | PREMIUM | 16 | $4,800 |
| 4.2L 8-cyl, S6 automatic, AWD | PREMIUM | 14 | $5,500 |
The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
