Default Just bought a 2000 Audi A6 2.7T, what would happen if I put reg or mid grade...

...gas in it? I know premium is the recommended fuel for this car. However, I'm also a college student looking to save a buck here or there so I was wondering what the repricussions would be if I put lower grade fuel in. Would it damage the fuel system or engine in any way, or would it just hurt the performance. Obviously if it would cause major problems that would be expensive to repair, I would rather just pay a little more for gas.

Heres what you need to know VERY VERY IMPORTANT the octane rating on gas is called ANTIKNOCK when an engine knocks it will cause major major major major MAJOR problems, all turbo charged and super charged cars require premium gas to prevent the knocking, I also recommend making sure you get a half way decent brand of premium gas, some guys will tell you you can buy regular and put a gas additive in, I don't think its worth the risk. Not to mention the knocking noise will VERY annoying lol.
