Type of Fuel

Just bought a 64 bug

Wondering about fuel.

Have heard that it can be run on premium?

Or is it betta to use an additive?

Premium or Ultimate for octane/ctane and use an additive as well to protect the valves. Remember that the valve saver additives reduce the Octane rating a bit therefore Ultimate is probably best in my opinion.

I run our 1500sp on straight premium with no additives. Seems to work ok
