What type of fuel does Audi use?
2 Answers
Audi vehicles require 95-octane gasoline. Below is relevant information: Audi: Audi is a luxury car brand under the Volkswagen Group's subsidiary Audi AG. As a representative of high technical standards, quality, innovation, and classic models, Audi is one of the leading automotive brands. Models: Audi's headquarters are located in Ingolstadt, Germany. Its main models include the A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8, TT, R8, as well as the S and RS performance series. Audi focuses on the mid-to-high-end automotive market, primarily offering sedans and SUVs.
I've been driving Audis for ten years, from the Q5 to the A6. Most Audi models recommend using 95-octane fuel because the engines have high compression ratios, and lower octane can cause knocking—it sounds like a pinging noise and, in severe cases, can damage the pistons and ignition system. I once tried 92-octane fuel, and the engine shook violently, fuel consumption skyrocketed, and it cost me over a thousand to fix. The manuals specify the requirements for each model—for example, the RS series performs best with 98-octane. Get into the habit of using the right fuel, and the engine will run smoothly with a longer lifespan. Choose reputable gas stations to ensure fuel quality and avoid impurities clogging the fuel injectors. Also, when there are big temperature differences between winter and summer, keep the fuel grade consistent—don’t switch back and forth and cause issues. In short, safety first—don’t skimp on these small costs. Take good care of your car, and you’ll drive with peace of mind.
