High performance car, high performance fuel.

I am purchasing an Audi S4 2005 model - will the car run on standard unleaded or should/must I use super unleaded or V-Power?

If I have an option will I get more mpg with the higher octane petrol? Are there any other advantages or disadvantages of using one or the other?

Why buy a high performance car then run it on crap petrol? With an S3, V-Power will give about 30PS more than 95 Ron supermarket petrol, and keep the fuel system clean.
