They dont have 91 in new zealand.

They use RON octane rating, 95 or 98. Audi reccomends 95 ron minimum.
Yes they do, i feel up 91 all the time. So is it possible that our 91 is actualy 95 and 95 is actualy 98 with your grade in US??? Its all meesed up. Cos Mobil and Bp here have 91 or 98 octane and all Shell Gas stations have 91 or 95 octane.

its never that simple or everyone would be using 103octane race gas which is also available pretty much on tap.Igues 91 octane is all good. Hasnt had any problemsand it pins less under load with 91.i would recommend Shell for everyone. Have a read about there fuel and i have first hand experience . 91 from mobil, bp, gas,caltex, gulland many othergas stationsjust kill the power of your car, 98octane from mobil and bp dont realy feel any better andMPG just drops like 2/3 of what it shoud be.. So ive been using Shellfrom my 65Hp starlet to my 420rwhp Carinato the newest member The Audi A4.

ok well race gas is different story..

here in the states the usual highest pump gas we have is 93oct. i know there is a conversion for our gas to yours and fuel in europe but i just can't remember.. i just know that 91 oct here doesn't equal 91 oct there

Do some research on a knock sensor... 91 is fine
Did you read anybody elses post, or do you just type whatever comes to your mind without caring.

Jesus...

Everyone said he needs 95 minimum... It's different outside of the US. sigh.[]
