From a director at Audi AG as well as someone from quattro GmbH...

When I asked them about the 93 octane requirement they looked at me like I was crazy. By their reactions I have some doubts about what you were told.

John,the info came from so high up in Corporate that I cannot reveal the source; trust me on this. - CBS4 2008-03-23 12:37:14 (88 views)

Sad to hear! - John Stahmann 2008-03-24 21:21:59 (67 views)

93 is avail here in NC - EGainer 2008-03-18 15:59:02 (112 views)

93 octane in the U.S. is significantly higher than 93 octane in Europe - drive4fun 2008-03-20 13:41:29 (86 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)
