APR chip question
I had my 225 TTQC chipped by APR at a recent, large TT gtg somewhere in the western United States...since I'm pretty sure that Audi USA reads this forum, I'm going to post my question <i> incognito </i>.
The chip I purchased has stock, 91 octane, and the fault code erase options. When I had APR program the chip, I was under the impression that the only high-end gas I could get (i.e., Supreme or Super Unleaded) was 91 octane. When I got home I discovered that 91 is <u> unavailable </u> here -- the only high-end stuff I can get is 93!
Here's the question: I know that I can sometimes run 93 in a chip that is programmed for 91, but will it do any damage to <b> permanently </b> run a higher octane than the chip's programmed for?
Thanks for the help...I would have asked cardboard Brad but he was busy getting married!

Don't worry...most of us here have been running...
93 octane on our APR chips that only benefit from 91 octane.
No harm in it. Although I wonder since APR already has released their 93 octane chip, how come they didn't just program your ECU with it?
At any rate.. you are able to get a free upgrade now through APR.
EDIT: did I just respond to a prankster?
