Does 2002 vw passat v6 engine need 91octane fuel?
Yes. It's a higher compression engine which requires a higher octane level to help prevent "pinging" in the engine. This engine does have the intelligence built-in that detects "pinging" and retards the engine timing to prevent to pinging from occuring. Pinging is when the gas explodes early while the piston is still going up. This can cause damage to the piston over time, something that's expensive to fix. If you put 87 octane in the tank the car will detect the pinging early, retard the timing to save the engine but the fuel economy and performance goes down. Generally speaking you'll pay more in gas by dumping 87 in the tank than filling it up with the good stuff since the performance is better.

depends on engine... compression ratio etc. i have a 94 lt1 with 10.5 compressin ratio most car engines are 8-9.5...:( 91 or better won't hurt if you don't need it. but if you do you will notice a knock or pinging sound under hard acceleration or going up hills.

What are the knock senors for on a 2004 Chevy truck 4x4?
Severe spark knock (pinging) can damage the engine. Knock sensors detect spark knock (pinging) in the engine. They send that info to the ECM (Engine Control Module). The ECM makes temporary adjustments in engine timing to eliminate the spark knock.
