As long as the engine is non-turbo, you should have no problems
burning 89 octane. The car will adjust to the type of gas you choose
to buy. You will probably experience less than the maximum
performance level of the engine, however, with a lower octane. I have
put 89 octane in my RS6 (V8 with twin turbos) and it ran just fine. I
did notice a decline in performance, but that was because of how I
drive. d;o)

Ok... Seriously... if you have an RS6 (or any newer audi) you can afford
the $4-5 more a fillup for premium. If you can't, you should probably be
looking at a cheaper car.
I love my 2.0T A4, and will never put anything but premium in my car.
