much like the svx my audi cabriolet required high octaine gas (91-94) and ran like it was being abused on anything of a lower grade... ran like a beast on 93. the vw engine is designed to take a lower grade gasoline. though im sure it helps to use permium. the a-4 cabriolet shares platform with a vw passat

the audi tt shares the same platform as a gti, cabrio, and new beetle

i would make an educated guess thatthe audi tt was electronically designed to handle a higher octain fuel with modified manifold, intake and exhaust making the 45 hp difference.
