Is there a REAL need to use premium fuel? - westcoast4.2 2008-05-13 14:20:19 (244 views)

I wonder how often premium is pumped? - ukr77 2008-05-14 13:44:28 (83 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 (69 views)

You're assuming the mileage will be the same with both fuels... - FixedWing 2008-05-13 18:17:22 (127 views)

Hehe ... for most people, cars are not logical. :-p - FixedWing 2008-05-14 12:13:52 (47 views)

Mine runs great on regular- and this article seems to agree- just a bit less power - thxguy 2008-05-13 17:48:06 (135 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 (61 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 (79 views)

some of the stations are using more of a blend, up to 10% methanol... - schnellmb 2008-05-13 16:29:10 (90 views)

Methanol? - audikillsbmw 2008-05-13 16:41:00 (53 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 (87 views)

Simple math... - Stampy 2008-05-13 14:44:37 (188 views)

yes simple math.... - westcoast4.2 2008-05-13 14:52:28 (150 views)

Check your math: $4.00/fillup x once a week x 1 month = $16. - ToolmanAR 2008-05-14 06:39:18 (67 views)

20 bucks is chump change....if the car is too expensive for you then sell it - Press 2008-05-13 14:59:44 (127 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 (121 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 (66 views)

You should run the cheapest, crappiest gas you can. - Robert Gedeon 2008-05-14 09:53:33 (54 views)
