is this on the S4 paul?

If its like the subsequent hotrod Audis the motors are tuned to run of stupidly expensive in europe and 93 RON everywhere else (to my knowledge). This does depends upon age as the newer VW/Audi's have ECU switchable maps to run on any grade fuel

Its premature wear to the motor and a over efficicent burn (higher burn temps) and the knock ons valve seats etc...
