Never owned an Audi, have you?.

Your comments are mostly fair, but your oil 'observations' are a bit wacky - if there is gas in the oil, the best way to get it out is to heat it and get it moving, leaving the filler cap will do the same thing but it will take five years to evaporate......
Once gas gets into the oil, it will never 'float on top', it has become part of the mixture and will never seperate without a lot of heat or vacuum.

It's sad to think of you living in fear of your car, babying it and dribbling around at low revs to achieve "decent fuel economy" and even then griping about "the abysmal fuel economy" - WTF??!? Why bother? It didn't make you happy, but you continue to do it.....

....and skip the little pillow behind your head - you are supposed to be awake to drive an '8!
