Default Gas question for A6 2.8
Hey guys,

This is week 2 of my newly aqcuired 2000 A6 2.8. So right now I have been filling up on premium per specs but premium gasisat $4.13 (i'm sure it will be up by .30 cents tomorrow), and so I was wondering if my car can actually function with no long term damage on mid-grade gas? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

ALSO, anyone know where I can get a good black, fin looking antenna to make my ride look a little sleeker?

Your car is a 2.8 which means it is not a turbo so you do not need to use premium 93 oct. You will be just fine with regular or midgrade gas.

Premium is better for the car in the long run for any car turbo or nonturbo. I used 93 in my jeep to keep it running great you should do the chance if you have the money/situation
