    Any top tier fuel WITHOUT any alchohol added.

    And there is absolutely no need for anything but 87 octane for the basically stock internal A3 engine.


    Also, the 93 octane we have here in the states has equivalent or better power than the Euro 99octane. There isnt any difference in the fuel, just the way it is tested and rated, we use ron + mon divided by 2, the euro trash use the ron rating only.

    The mon spec calls for additional refining to increase octane, while ron spec calls for additives to increase octane(with the resulting detonation). So a fuel with a higher mon rating will be a much higher quality of fuel even though the ron fuel may have a higher ron octane rating.

    now the ep is hondata less 87 all day usually valero. in the boobaru im supposed to use 91 but sometimes i use 89 usually arco. once i forgot and filled with 87 car ran like a 2 stroke running on straight gas.
    When people ask me if my car is turbo, I can finally say yes muthafuxa it is.

    I use any gas station near me before reflash i would use 87 after reflash i have been using 91. Sucks after the reflash the car seems to eat up more gas. Een before the reflash when i would use 91 just because the car used 91 octane faster then it used 87
