I wonder if it's harmful to use regular instead of premium fuel in a
turbo engine?

No. Probably. The car will use it's knock sensor to prevent damage,
but the system does have limits. Under certain conditions, pinging
will occur, and damage will result.

But why buy a turbo car if you're not going to run premium? If you've
got the money to buy an Audi, don't have the money to fill it with the
recommended grade of fuel?

Generally no, but you will have reduced performance.

<G> Actually I'm still shopping. I figure that after I spill for the
car, I'll be so broke that I'll just only use cheap gas except for the
high speed runs in the Nevada desert. Thanks for the replies.
