What type of gasoline should an Audi A4 use?
2 Answers
Audi A4 requires 95-octane gasoline. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis, and is used as fuel. Taking the 2020 Audi A4 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with body dimensions of: length 4737mm, width 1842mm, height 1428mm, a wheelbase of 2825mm, a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, and a trunk capacity of 505 liters. The 2020 Audi A4 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 190PS, a maximum power of 140kW, and a maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I just bought an Audi A4 and am excitedly researching the fuel situation. The manual says to use high-octane gasoline, such as 95 or 98 unleaded. Audi engines have a high compression ratio, and using this type of fuel can reduce knocking and make the car run smoother. Don’t use cheaper 92-octane fuel, as it might damage the engine and trigger a warning light. I tried 95-octane once, and the acceleration felt smooth with reasonable fuel consumption. Always check the label when refueling to choose the right octane—branded gas stations all provide it. Sticking to high-octane fuel long-term can also extend engine life; it’s a bit more expensive but worth it. In fact, newer turbocharged models need higher-quality fuel even more. Filling up each time gives peace of mind on long trips.
