Maybe the Europeans need an excuse to make themselves feel better for paying substantially more for gasoline, but 93 octane in the U.S. is much higher grade than 93 octane in Europe.

Neither version of the RS6 will come to No. America as it needs to run on 93 octane gas - CBS4 2008-03-17 20:21:39 (240 views)

I was told today that the decision to bring the RS6 to the US hasn't been made yet. - John Stahmann 2008-03-20 15:43:44 (96 views)

93 octane in the U.S. is significantly higher than 93 octane in Europe - drive4fun 2008-03-20 13:41:29 (87 views)

Not true. In Europe 95 RON equals 91 [R+M] /2 in the US. Thus 93 [R+M] /2 equals 97 RON in Europe. - CBS4 2008-03-24 16:38:34 (106 views)

From what I can remember 91 is West coast, 93 is an East coast thing; - Zeptepi 2008-03-19 20:51:25 (91 views)

If you are willing to buy the entire US allocation then Audi will work out a deal with you :-) - sashko 2008-03-18 20:20:19 (84 views)
