Default Which Gas Station...

do you use to fill up your Audi especially A3? I ask because some cars are sensitive when getting premium gas from a small brand name gas station versus a Shell. Just wanted to know what the experience or recommendation is as I usually use Shell, Sam's Club, or Mobile for my current car which takes premium. Thanks.

Stay with "Top Tier" gas. Sams is not TT. Also Sams is 92 octane. COSTCO is TT & 93 Octane. Just point of interest.

I typically use 92 from Wawa and have not had any issues. The car doesn't know the difference in 1 octane, but my wallet does.

Hmmm, in NJ, Wawa gas is some of the most expensive, yet a lot of people still go there, I guess it's just convenient. I love Wawa, but never buy gas from them.

In the Orlando, FL area it is usually about $.05 to $.10 cheaper per gallon than 93 at other stations.


I miss living in Jersey, all the oil refineries made gas prices the lowest of any state I've lived in.

I use Shell 91 V-Power. In Canada it doesn't have any Ethanol so I like it. I have no issues so far.
