Sure, I can afford it. But if ya get stuck with only 89 octane (the
91 (or was it 93?) pump is broken, whatya want me to do? Get a cab
and try to find a higher octane somewhere. I mean, it was 2 in the
morning, raining, cold, in the middle of nowhere, wind blowing like a
son-of-gun, and I had to exit from the NY Thruway, my wife was having
labor pains, and our other four kids were in the back seat crying
because their mom was making all these strange noises. I mean, what
the hell did ya want me to do, buster? Oh, the humanity.

An RS6 will run just fine on 89; it simply means ya can't play.

The problem I have here in Boston is that most gas stations, save
Sunoco, doesn't offer 91. It's either 89 or 93. When I picked up my 2.0T
Quattro last year, my salesman went over this and advised that I should
alternate fill-ups with 89 one week and 93 the next. So far, this has
worked out fine even though I tend to fill-up more with 93. And even
with a full tank of 89, you can still play with little difference in
performance.....well, at least with my car.
