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.

Re: Fuel type
 

Lol, sounds like a fun situation that you were in. I'm just used to
hearing the people at audiworld bitch about how they don't want to have to
pay for premium gas in their new 2.0T's they just spent over 30k on.

As for me, I don't mind the 93 octane (there is no 91 in GA). And I
suppose if I was out of gas and the only station had 89, I could always
drop my car out of APR 93 mode and back to stock :->. I'd miss the
horsepower though.

Cheers to the R8 tho! I hope you don't have to wait too long. I hear
that wait list is approaching F430 waits (for low rank ferrari owners).

You actually bought that tall tale? ahahahahahahahaha!
The last kid he had is about Moses's age by now ;-)

It's also rather startling someone could be so warm and cuddly about putting
regular in his twin turbo high output car now, but when someone once
innocently filled his NON-TURBO A6 tank with regular many years ago, he threw
a most unsightly public hissy-fit, and to this day still finds reasons to
bring it up again, as if it mortally wounded his ride.

The worst of it is, he drives like an old woman. It's going to be even more
pathetic to have him riding around in an R8 while dowagers pass him on the
highway like he's standing still ;-) ahahahahahahahaha!
