Can I put regular (lower octane) gas in my audi tt?
I have a 2001 Audi TT (the 225 hp, quattro version) and the manual says that the car takes supreme gasoline. (which is what I've always used up to this point) But with the price of gas getting higher and higher, I'm interested in putting regular unleaded or at least the mid-grade gasoline. If I use regular unleaded in my TT, will it actually cause some kind of damage to the engine, or will is simply affect performance?
There is a fair chance that using lower RON ( Octane ) fuel will create pre-ignition ( Pinging , Detonation Etc ) in ANY vehicle that is specified to run on the Hi Octane fuels by the manufacturer.
There WILL certainly be a loss of Power & Performance by using Low Octane fuel & a good chance of worse fuel economy.
I personally would not risk using a lower grade of fuel .
Are the fuel savings going to equal or better the cost of a possible engine replacement or rebuild due to the damage caused ?
