      87 octane when I had just bolt-ons. That's all it needs and anything more would have been a waste.
      93 octane now, because of the JRSC.

      Why would you use 89 octane? That's like saying...I'm not a total cheapass so I'll just use mid-grade.

      I use Shell 93 V-Power on my NA'd turdbox to keep the internals fresh and clean. If you read the owner's manual, it's *recommended* to use a fuel with detergent additives (aka v-power).

      uhh, dude sorry but octane has nothing to do with quality unless you are buying, for instance, the shell 93 with the cleaning agents...

      93 is the wrong octane for the stock a3...using 89 doesnt make you a cheapass if its the correct octane for the car...

      the octane has to do with flame propagation and using the wrong octane in a car means the cylinder will be firing too early or too late and create a knock situation, you might not hear the knock, but it would still be present...

      it has nothing to do with gas quality or mileage you would get...
      my ep is white...

      - We can talk numbers all you want, but the bullshit stops when the flag drops...
