Where can I find 95 Octane Gas in Boston MA?

[thatsright]

Anyone?

I just bought a new Audi A4 and the minimum is 91 but recommended is 95 octane gas. I use 93 octane premium, but would like to try 95. I'm looking for a major seller (Citgo, Shell, Speedway, etc) and NOT a local independent place. Anyone live in the area and can suggest? I live in the Dorchester/Milton/Quincy area and it's not worth it to really go out of my way. Thanks guys!

I wonder how much of this is marketing for audi to be an elitist.

Sounds like a huge handicap for extra expensive gas. And what do you get out of it that cheap cars can do just fine? Just a bit better acceleration?

But then i know nothing about gas and combustiom engines.

There really is a noticeable difference. I don't mind spending the extra $5.

You can't spell "placebo" without a-u-d-i

Okay, yeah, you can, but that's a crock of shit. Nobody runs 95 octane in an Audi and nobody notices the difference. If the car couldn't run smoothly and reliably on 87 it wouldn't be on the road. And if Audi couldn't make a sensor that adjusted the car to run smoothly and reliably on 87 they wouldn't exist as a company.

I disagree wrt using 87 octane in this engine. High Compression engines absolutely need higher octane fuel to prevent engine knock. That's what it is made for.



On the other hand, if the OP is not experiencing knock with 91 or 93, then yes, 95 is a waste of resources, and he should be persecuted for his foolishness.

There is no noticeable difference in performance, other than the aforementioned reduction in engine knock.

for high compression/ high performance German cars its a lot. I have a Benz and do notice performance declines when i put in lower octane gas. I only use Tier1 gas.

I never put high octane gas in my camry, its not needed.

sorry but that is not true.

If anyone is experiencing engine knock with a modern car just by using a lower octane gasoline they need to buy something that is not a giant piece of shit. Everything made in the last 20+ years has sensors and computers to adjust on the fly and if using 87 instead of 91 causes problems then you already had a problem with begin with.
