Which fuel variants are most in demand for the Audi S3?

The primary energy source for the Audi S3 is petrol.

Factor in your driving habits when making a decision about fuel types. Are your driving routes predominantly in urban areas or on highways and motorways? What is your average weekly mileage?

If you mostly drive short trips, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars may be relevant. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work.
