Looking for S4 reviews

Yeah.. same here in Holland. Those lucky yanks.. And they get their gas almost for free too - while we pay over *gasp* $6 per gallon

Oh my god...... we "only" pay a little over $5.

How does that equate to US dollars or Euros? What is a typical manager, lawyer, doctor salary in Holland? How much does a single family detached house cost in the 2000 square foot size range in 1/2 acre?

Your cars sound outrageously priced from a US perspective, but I don't understand the actual purchasing ability trade offs.

I do know you guys get a lot more vacation than we do : - )

In the uk I pay 0.81ukp per litre for Shell Optimax which equals $6.60 per gallon (uk gallon) or $5.5 per gallon (us gallon).

Which is generally frowned upon in the uk.

What - you euro-folk don't like our super-sized US gallons? ;-)

US gallons are less.

Gack! You are clearly a threat to global peace! Our President (you know him as the Smirking Chimp) will declare you part of the Evil Empire and target your location for a MOAB strike, shortly.

Are you speaking in terms of Quilder or Euros?

177,000 Quilder = approx. 99,521 USD 177,000 Euro = Approx. 219,315 USD

Either way, that's a shitload of money for an S4.

Shell Optimax is 98 octane. Most Unleaded in the uk is rated at 95. We also get other producers with 97 ron. Confused ? 95 ron is about 0.75/0.76ukp per litre. ( I can't be bother to do the dollar translation again. Sorry). I don't think it is possible to get any lower octane petrol than 95 here.

Because of the high cost of fuel over here diesel engine cars are becoming very popular for higher mileage owners but I strangely bought a 2.8 a4 !!!

He would have to be careful striking here in the uk he may end up destroying his own aircraft. ;-)

It is not quite free. I paid $1.79 per gallon for Premium at my last fillup. That is a bit more than the $0.329 per gallon I paid for premium gasoline when I was younger. Regular grade was about 2 cents per gallon cheaper but it was often available during "gas wars" for 19.9 cents a gallon.

As I recall about 41 cents per gallon is tax. What amount of tax are you paying per gallon?

1 UK gallon = 1.2 US gallons

1 US Dollar = 0.81 Euro 1 Euro (EUR) = 1.24 US Dollar (USD)

Median price was NA / NA (bid/ask)

OTHER RELEVANT CONVERSIONS

1 US Dollar = 0.55 British Pound 1 US Dollar = 105.92 Japanese Yen 1 US Dollar = 1.26 Swiss Franc

That was converted into US$..

Ofcourse this varies quite a bit, but if you make more than US$60,000 per year you're doing very well (way above average).

I dunno.. In Amsterdam I paid US$200,000 for a 3-room appt. w/ kitchen. and no garden or whatever. (nor central heating, parking, or any other kind of luxury). But then Amsterdam sucks huge donkey balls anyway. I can't wait to leave this overrated hellhole but my work keeps me here for now.

That's because of cartels, extreme taxes (in Holland there's an additional luxury tax on cars called BPM which almost doubles the price of a car) and other things that no civilised country should endure. So a humble TT is all I can afford, and even that is considered something quite special (in case you're curious: that's US$55,700 for the simple 180BHP version).

That's the only positive thing, yes.

Got to be carefull when comparing gas prices between NA and Europe.

Here in Canada, the highest octane available is 94 from Sunoco but generally Supreme is 92 octanes. I understand Shell Optimax is 98 octanes. So when you hear a Candaian stating a price per litre, its probably for the regular gas (petrol) which is 87 octane - which currentlyruns at about $0.72 per litre, but last week was $0.65. 92 octanes is plus $0.10.

Although you Euros are still paying more.

The Danish currency is "Crowns" ...... you do know where Denmark is right ??? ;-)

The Audi is 1.063.696 Danish Crowns.... just as much as I paid for my

1000 sq.ft (fairly cheap) appartment..... At the current exchange rate, that adds up to about 177.000 US dollar.

'$' was ment as US-dollar

You got it dude..... can't wait to get to the US soil (again) :-)

By the way..... I posted a request about reviews of the older S4 with the 2.7L engine....... anyone got some links ????

What Octane measurement is used in the UK?

There are 2 values measured in the US which are Research Octane Number (RON) and Motor Octane Number (MON). The value posted on the pump (by law) is the Anti Knock Index (AKI). AKI is (RON+MON)/2

I suspect that your UK 95 Octane might be our US 91 AKI Octane and your UK

91 Octane our (US) 87 Octane

In the Cincinnati, Ohio, USA area the new Shell Premium gasoline is the 93 (AKI) octane V-Power.

I believe it is measured as RON. At least thats what it says on the pumps.

Alright! That answers that question.

When I was younger we (US) also measured octane in RON. Somewhere in the mid to later 70's the AKI was introduced to solve the problem of engine knocking at high and low speeds (RON measures one, MON measures the other)

0.75/0.76ukp

Sorry, I was thinking Holland for some reason.

Several countries have currency called the dollar and use the "$" symbol.
