The A4's here in North America are tuned to 91 octane, but done so they will run on west coast 91 octane which is like throwing in 87 octane found on the east coast.

The sticker on the gas door says 95 RON, which is equal to our 91.

Nothing under 110 octane goes in my A4 tank and the good days it gets treated with 117 octane.

Cant make crap for power if your putting crap in the tank. lol

Just ask Mike what would happen to his motor if he ran 87 through it. I figure with OVER 9000 posts you know this, so maybe I missed what situation you're referencing .
Oh yes, I forgot to mention there was some retuning that they did.

Look at you, what does a 600 post noob know.
