It's just like poe-tate-oh, poe-tot-oh. Economy in the Websters Dictionary says you can pronounce it eek or eck. My inlaws work for GM and prononce it eek-o-teck. The first time I read it that's the way I figured it was pronounced. I guess it's just your preference.

Have you heard John pronounce graffiti in this video. (listen at 00:38) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urwJVnWHjiI

he says graph-feety. I don't know, sounded funny to me.

not only does he say Graph-feety, but he also says 'spot' like 'spaaaat'

in conclusion he has a goofy ass accent which is why he mispronounces it and its really pronounced Eek-o-teck

he probably adds an "R" to the end word "idea" aswell.
