Is using 89 octane okay with the A4Q? I get similarly bad mileage with my
auto tran A4Q. (15-20mpg). Maybe I can at least switch to 89 octane from 92 to
save some money. I think the documentation for gas requirement is conflicting.
The fuel door stick says 92, but the user manual I thought says something else.
