E10 petrol

Post by vailpilgrim » Thu Sep 30, 2021 9:19 am

Do any of you here use E10 petrol in your B7 RS4s? So instead of the premium stuff eg. Shell V-Power, you top up with the standard grade. For those of you who do, any noticeable difference in performance of the engine? Thanks

I always thought lower octane petrol made the engine feel a little sluggish, but this could have been because I was expecting it. I believe that you only get full power from higher-octane fuel.

My RS4 (B8) runs only on E5 - either Shell V Power (occasionally), Tesco 99 Momentum (most of the time), or Esso Synergy + 99 (some of the time). I've not noticed any difference at all in performance between the three, although my wallet prefers Tesco 99 Momentum, then Esso Synergy + 99. Plus you get Club Card points with Tesco (and some Esso Tesco Express Garages) with money off vouchers every few months which can be used for fuel purchases....

The manual states that 95 RON can be used, but with reduced power output. 98 Minimum RON is specified.
