Gasoline
Fuel supply
Applies to: vehicles with gaso line engine
Using the right fuel helps keep the environment
clean and prevents engine damage .
Fuel reco mm endati on
The fuel recommended for your vehicle is unlead
ed pr em ium
grade gasoline. Audi recommends
using TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline with a mini
mum octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON). For more
information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline,
p lease go to the official website
(www.toptiergas .com) .
The recommended gasoline octane rating for
your engine can also be found on a label located
on the inside of the fuel filler flap . Th is rating
may be spec ified as AKI or RON.
Your vehicle may also be operated using unlead
ed regular gasoline with a min imum octane rat
ing of 87 AKl/91 RON. However, using 87 AKl/91
RON octane fuel will slightly reduce engine pe r
formance.
U se unlea ded gas oline only. Unleaded gasoline
is available throughout the USA, Canada, and in
most European count ries . We recommend that
you do not ta ke your vehicle to areas or countries
where un leaded gasol ine may not be availab le.
For more information on refueling your vehicle,
see

Octane r ating
Octane rating indicates a gasoline's ability to re
sist engine damaging "knock" caused by prema
ture ignit ion and detonation . Therefore , buy ing
the correct grade of gasoline is very important to
h e lp prevent poss ible engine damage and a loss
of eng ine performance.
Gasoline most commonly used in the Un ited
States and Canada has the following octane rat
ings that can usually be found on the filler pump:
- Premium Grade: 91 -96 AKI
Ch eck ing and Filling
- Regu lar Grade: 87 -90 AK I
E xplanation of the abb reviations:
AK I=
Anti Knock Index = (R +M)/2 = (RON +MON)/
2
RON = Research Octane Number
MON = Motor Octane Number.
(D Note
- Do not use any fue l w ith octane ratings low
er than 8 7 AKI or 91 RON otherwise expen
sive engine damage w ill occur .
- Do
not use leaded gasoline. The use of lead
ed gasoline will severe ly damage your vehi
cle's catalytic converter and its ability to
control exhaust emissions .
Blended gasoline
Applies to: vehicles with gasoline engine
Use of gas olin e con tainin g alcoh ol or MTBE
( meth yl t ert ia ry but yl ether )
You may use unleaded gasoline blended with al
cohol or MTB E (commonly referred to as oxygen
ates) if the blended m ixture meets the follow ing
criteria:
Blend of gasolin e methanol (wood alcohol or
methyl alcoho l)
-Anti -knock index must be 87 AKI or h igher.
- Blend must contain no more than 3% metha-
nol.
- Blend must contain more than 2% co-solvents.
Blend of g asoline and ethanol (grain alc oh ol or
e th yl alcoh ol)
- Anti-knock index must be 87 AKI or h igher .
- Blend must not conta in more than 15% etha-
nol.
Bl end of g asoline and MTBE
-Anti-knock index must be 87 AK I or h igher.
- Blend must contain not mo re than 15% MTBE.

Operating your vehicle
outside the U.S.A. or

Government regulati ons in the United States and
Canada require that automobi les meet specific

there is the poss ibility that:
- un leaded fue ls for vehicles with catalytic con
verter may not be available;
- fuel may have a considerably lower octane rat
ing . Improper fuel may cause engine damage;
- service may be inadequate due to lack of proper
service facilities, tools or testing equipment;
- r eplacement parts may not be readily available.
- Nav igation systems for veh icles built for the
