Audi engines are designed to run on premium fuel??!! LOL you got to be kidding. There is no such thing.

Also, people state that premium fuel burns slower?? How so? Are these people chemical engineers to know this?

Is there a REAL need to use premium fuel? - westcoast4.2 2008-05-13 14:20:19 (249 views)

I wonder how often premium is pumped? - ukr77 2008-05-14 13:44:28 (89 views)

I for one pay the difference, the extra $ per tank is worth it to me for HP and Reliability - Raudi_6 akaDeutschMF 2008-05-14 13:41:41 (76 views)

Is it worth risking damage for less than $4.00 a tank? - ToolmanAR 2008-05-14 06:25:39 (97 views)

You're assuming the mileage will be the same with both fuels... - FixedWing 2008-05-13 18:17:22 (134 views)

You need to stop making sense. Too much sense is bad for our engines. - Robert Gedeon 2008-05-14 09:54:59 (62 views)

Hehe ... for most people, cars are not logical. :-p - FixedWing 2008-05-14 12:13:52 (52 views)

Mine runs great on regular- and this article seems to agree- just a bit less power - thxguy 2008-05-13 17:48:06 (144 views)

5% loss might not seem like much to you, but that's 15hp in a 4.2. - audikillsbmw 2008-05-13 17:57:35 (66 views)

I've used regular for a year plus with no noticable difference...but less of a wallet-ache. - absolutcq20v 2008-05-13 16:33:28 (85 views)

some of the stations are using more of a blend, up to 10% methanol... - schnellmb 2008-05-13 16:29:10 (98 views)

Methanol? - audikillsbmw 2008-05-13 16:41:00 (60 views)

yeah, like crystal-methanol...that's gonna be the new crack soon! - *C5 AVANT STYLE* 2008-05-14 04:13:41 (55 views)

ooops, meant ethanol. i guess pig poop plus ethanol would make methanol - schnellmb 2008-05-13 16:53:05 (63 views)

LOL... Not shit! Energy! :D - audikillsbmw 2008-05-13 16:56:33 (135 views)

And all of the gas around here already has 10% Ethanol, so that wouldn't - audikillsbmw 2008-05-13 16:58:21 (93 views)

You've answered your own Q! A good start for a new thread, and your spell check isn't working... - BernieBenz 2008-05-13 16:22:14 (94 views)

Simple math... - Stampy 2008-05-13 14:44:37 (196 views)

yes simple math.... - westcoast4.2 2008-05-13 14:52:28 (157 views)

Check your math: $4.00/fillup x once a week x 1 month = $16. - ToolmanAR 2008-05-14 06:39:18 (74 views)

20 bucks is chump change....if the car is too expensive for you then sell it - Press 2008-05-13 14:59:44 (134 views)

Only half the equation. Lower octane = retarded timing to avoid knock = crappy fuel economy - 4Driver4 2008-05-13 14:47:27 (113 views)

I just tried a full tank of Premium (European 98RON Super+) and it was worse - D.D. A6 Avant 2.7Tq 2008-05-13 14:42:01 (128 views)

Not sure about Audi, but my old car waited a certain amount of time before the ECU advanced timing - 2.7T_M6 2008-05-14 08:02:16 (71 views)

You should run the cheapest, crappiest gas you can. - Robert Gedeon 2008-05-14 09:53:33 (61 views)
