I use jet fuel and it works great. Kinda expensive though.

I dont want to deal with regular again. A lot of problems and malfunctions of the fuel burning systems.

yopu'll probably get proportionally more gas mileage to the increase in price anyways, you get performance and more mileage.

I've put nearly 300,000 miles total on 2 Audis ('98 A6 2.8, '03 A4 1.8T) in the past 7 years. Never ever use anything but premium, preferably 93 octane!!!

Funny you mention that- my father is an aircraft mechanic and brings home jet fuel which has been drained from the wings (you can't reuse it by law) and heats his house with it in the winter. No problems and he's been doing it for 7 years!

Wikipedia is my favorite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

Audis engines were designed for higher-octane fuels.
