My UK car manual and advertising material calls for 98 octane fuel and 95 permissable with reduced performance.
I have run my 20.T FSI on 95 without pre-ignition knocks (but never from less than a quarter full fill up).
91 octane would appear to be below manufacturers recommendations.

There is also unconfirmed Audi forum chatter about model year 2006 having a very slightly lower compression ratio but the same power characteristics.
