I buy the highest octane I can....which around me in cali I can only get 91...


It just cost me 58$ to fill my tank today... gas lis at 3.80 something right now....[>:]

I think that if I had a 12v I would prolly just run 87 in it...lol
dude how many gallons is your tank?

i think that everyone should run premium. I cut the useless driving and f**king around with the car and keep it for buisness. School & Job. And i try my best not to get aheavy foot on the gas pedal(this isthe hard part)[>:]

Anyway its a few $$ difference from 89 to 91 gas.

Non quattro audi's have larger tanks cause the lack of the system in the rear leaves more room for a bigger tank.

According to my S4 manual the car will run fine on 87, "but with less performance available". I run 87 and it runs fine.
If you want to save money just go do the math. The biggest "$/octane" increase is between 87 and 89 in NY/NJ area. But the difference between 89 and 93 is much less. So 7 gallons of 87 and 7 gallons of 93 equals 14 gallons of 90. But it's cheaper this way then buying 14 gallons of 89.
example-7g 87 at $3.03= $21.21, 7g 93at $3.27=$22.89 for a total of $44.10 for90 octane
but 14g of 89 at $3.18= $44.52. Some stations the price differential is much higher then the ones I used(real prices at a station near me). So an increase of 2 octane costs $.14 from 87 to 89, but from 89 to 93 it only cost $.10 for 4 octane increase.
Also go to GasBuddy.com and look around for better prices where you are. They change daily too.
