I work at a stop and shop gas station (i kno... weird) and I see people puttin regular gas into their audi's... everytime I see that I feel like going out there and feed them cat food and see how they like it....

I always tend to f*uck with the customer who do that....


man that just pisses me off!!!!



does that bother anyone else?
or am I just a weirdo.... lol

 

Look at the upside - every time you see that, sooner or later it'll mean another parts car to scavenge for repairs

 

Or it could be a nice car you'd want to buy used later on. [:@]

 

After owning my car for a few months, the topic of fuel mileage came up one day when I was talking to my dad. After giving him the run down, he asked how much difference there was in mileage when running 87.

How the f@ck should I know?!

My baby only gets 93.

 

93 FTW

regular FTL

 

Only 91 around here...[&o] Some places have 92 but it has 10% ethanol in it, anyone know about putting ethanol gas in their Audi?

 

10% ethanol shouldn't hurt the car, it actually boosts the octane rating since ethanol can hold more compression before it detonates. I ran about 1/4 of a tank of 92 w/ 10% ethanol once because it was the only thing around. I didn't notice any adverse effects. Running it consistently for a long period of time may dry out and crack your fuel lines, depending on what they're made of. I would think though that if it wasn't safe they would have a warning on the pump (similar to the new labels on the diesel pumps noting that it is low sulfur).

I was just wondering today what it would take to make an Audi E85 capable. When I had my previous vehicle I did quite a bit of reading into it and I found that such a high concentration of ethanol can wear out rubber fuel lines, so you'd have to replace them with something else (I think I read that silicone can be used). Also, you would need a new fuel map; ethanol contains less energy per gallon than gas, so you'd have to up the fuel delivery. Depending on the car, this may also require higher flowing injectors and/or a higher flowing fuel pump. On a turbo car, E85 could make some real power. It has the compression equivalent of about 114 octane!

P.S. Nice pic in your sig, alias! Got a higher res copy by any chance? Say, 1280x1024?
