[s-cars] A6 4.2 HP improvement?

[Mihnea Cotet]

Bjorn,


I have to disagree, on high capacity/HP engines such
as the 4.2l, there are about 20-30 more HP available
on premium fuel. Furthermore, can you run a
supercharged 4.2l engine for good performance on
crappy 91 RON or 87 R+M/2 fuel? I don't think so.
