Default fuel can be dirty

then there's the varnish byproduct. occasional use of a fuel cleaning additive can keep problems from occuring. it may be worth popping for a $6 bottle twice a year. In RI RS4's case, a 48 count case of 1 gals a month, you might want to pass on. but, he's throwing everything but the kitchen sink in his RS4. : )

Default Nope. I'd be pretty surprised if any RS4 folks have. Most are using a high detergent premium fuel

I use Shell 93 V-power exclusively in all my cars not that it is better than any others.

Default RS4 is still pretty new with low miles, but

other cars with higher miles can develop injector problems w/o an occasional cleaning, whether IV type or using a fuel cleaner in gas every so often. i wouldn't dismiss the usefulness of cleaners completely.
