Re: Looking for S4 reviews
It is not quite free. I paid $1.79 per gallon for Premium at my last
fillup. That is a bit more than the $0.329 per gallon I paid for premium
gasoline when I was younger. Regular grade was about 2 cents per gallon
cheaper but it was often available during "gas wars" for 19.9 cents a
gallon.
As I recall about 41 cents per gallon is tax. What amount of tax are you
paying per gallon?

Ofcourse this varies quite a bit, but if you make more than US$60,000 per
year you're doing very well (way above average).

I dunno.. In Amsterdam I paid US$200,000 for a 3-room appt. w/ kitchen.
and no garden or whatever. (nor central heating, parking, or any other kind
of luxury). But then Amsterdam sucks huge donkey ***** anyway. I can't wait
to leave this overrated hellhole but my work keeps me here for now.

That's because of cartels, extreme taxes (in Holland there's an additional
luxury tax on cars called BPM which almost doubles the price of a car) and
other things that no civilised country should endure. So a humble TT is
all I can afford, and even that is considered something quite special (in
case you're curious: that's US$55,700 for the simple 180BHP version).

That's the only positive thing, yes.

Re: Looking for S4 reviews
Got to be carefull when comparing gas prices between NA and Europe.
Here in Canada, the highest octane available is 94 from Sunoco but generally
Supreme is 92 octanes. I understand Shell Optimax is 98 octanes. So when you
hear a Candaian stating a price per litre, its probably for the regular gas
(petrol) which is 87 octane - which currentlyruns at about $0.72 per litre,
but last week was $0.65. 92 octanes is plus $0.10.
Although you Euros are still paying more.

The Danish currency is "Crowns" ...... you do know where Denmark is

The Audi is 1.063.696 Danish Crowns.... just as much as I paid for my

At the current exchange rate, that adds up to about 177.000 US dollar.

You got it dude..... can't wait to get to the US soil (again)
By the way..... I posted a request about reviews of the older S4 with

Re: Looking for S4 reviews
What Octane measurement is used in the UK?
There are 2 values measured in the US which are Research Octane Number (RON)
and Motor Octane Number (MON). The value posted on the pump (by law) is
the Anti Knock Index (AKI). AKI is (RON+MON)/2
I suspect that your UK 95 Octane might be our US 91 AKI Octane and your UK
91 Octane our (US) 87 Octane
In the Cincinnati, Ohio, USA area the new Shell Premium gasoline is the 93
(AKI) octane V-Power.
