Скачать или смотреть Regular vs Premium Gas: I Destroyed My Audi R8 Engine So You Don't Have To

I did the dumbest thing possible so you don't have to. For the last 6 months, I ran regular 87 octane gas in my Audi R8 V10 supercar, a car that strictly requires 93 premium fuel. After 4,000 miles of abuse, dyno testing, and oil analysis, I tore down the engine to see the truth.
Does premium gas actually matter? Is regular gas just as good? The results of this experiment were shocking. We tracked the horsepower loss, the fuel economy drop, and the internal engine damage caused by engine knock and pre-ignition.
In this video, we settle the Regular vs Premium gas debate once and for all with real-world data and a full engine teardown.
