Fuel Usage???

Hey

Just got the New 2005.5 Audi A4 (B7) and was wondering what grade of fuel alot of you are using...(Premium grade: 91 or Mid-grade 89)? And how does it perfom?

The manual recommends using unleaded premium, however after calling the serive dept. of my car dealership, I got two recommendations of what type of fuel to use (one said premium and other said due to gas prices mid-grade was good too.) I have been using the premium so far.

I'm using premium 92

Luckily we get a discount on gas at Costco. Not so much for the Audi, but our 2000 Land Rover Discovery II also requires premium and that beast gets like 11 mpg on a good day. :-)

Re: Fuel Usage???

Im sticking with premium. I have always tried to go premium my Pathfinder for 10+ years as well - IMHO I think the sporty engines run better/smoother. Heard long ago by master-porsche tech to go premium on anycar; others may have diff opinion/experience. Some stick to certain "brands" of gas too (Shell cleaner/better then Mobile sometimes?)
