Default Best Gas to put in the A4 (1.8T)

I was just thinking about it and some gas stations offer a 91 octane as their premium and where I go, Mobil, they offer 93. I know the higher the octane the better it is for turbos, but is there like a certain station that offers the best gas performance wise? Thanks!

Mobil has quality gas..keep goin there. Unfortunetely Mobil around here tops at 91 octane so I'm pretty much screwed. Go with 93 if you can. This is obviously for day to day gas though..if you want race gas its gonna cost ya for 100 octane.

I would HIGHLY recommend not putting 91 on your car!!! It belongs in the gas tank...

Yes, 91 octane is the preferred gasoline for our vehicles.

I used to think if I went to Mobil, BP, or Shell, I was good for "high quality" gas...but a Mobil and a Shell in my area got busted for water additives in the gas...over the last few years...now I know it doesn't matter where I go as long as the Octane is high enough...
