People might be interested to know tha an FSI Audi is designed to run on low sulphur or sulphur free fuel.
I've researched this fairly thoroughly - originally only opimax had a low sulpur level, but I've just noticed that all super unleaded type fuels in the uk became low sulphur in Dec 2007.
Also, in January 2009 apparently ALL UK fuels become less than 10ppm sulpur, so that might represent a big saving for everyone having to buy Optimax right now.
So in summary if as a 16. FSI driver you've been using just Optimax for years you can now try other brand of super unleaded and they should now do the job. Also, in January you can put the cheapest fuel you can find in the tank as that want clog up the engine anymore!
here's an article confirming everything:

Hope that should save people a few quid.
