I didn't know they were called "peelers"? Great wheel choice, but I haven't seen a bad one yet!!

They call them that because they look like potato peelers.....

The Q5 needed fuel on the way home, so I snapped our first "family" photo.

What's Love's gas?

You guys don't feed your cars some Invigorate (BP) or that good Dutch petroleum (Shell)?

That station looks like Shell to me. Maybe that sign is just position weird.

Yes, our cars only drink Shell. That Love's thing was a truck stop across the street from where we were.

My detective skills are on point.

I have only used Shell for gas for the past 10 years. My baby deserves the best!

The car looks great! A Two-hour drive home must have been a fun first date.

Speaking of fuel, I've been using BP Premium in my A3. Can I get away with mid-grade, or is premium the only real choice? Any insight, Gamegenie? I see you're a fellow A3 owner.
