Stage III A4 vs. WRX STI
Finally got a chance to run against an STI the other day. We were both going about 40mph, with him behind me. When the traffic cleared, he tried to pass me, so I floored it. We ran it up to about 110mph and he couldn't catch me. At the stop light, he rolled his window down and said "Nice car!" I told him it was an A4 (not an S4) and he freaked. I was running the 91 octane program, too. I have an FMIC and it was 30 degrees outside, which helped. So for all you SIII owners, go ahead a rev on the STI with confidence!

Your car appears to be a DBW. In those temps, with a FMIC, you can run 93 no problem.
I've been running the 100 programming with 93 in the tank for 4 months.
are you forced to run 91 fuel? I know for a fact you can run the 93 programming. You can try the 100 and log timing retard and get back to us.
