Can 92 Gasoline Be Mixed with 95?
1 Answers
92 gasoline can be mixed with 95 if there is still some left in the tank. However, prolonged mixing is not recommended. While mixing the two grades does not cause significant harm to the car or the engine itself, the engine's compression ratio may not be high enough to fully utilize the properties of 95 gasoline, leading to "delayed combustion" and increased fuel consumption. Here is a related introduction to the differences between 92 and 95 gasoline: 1. Different contents of n-heptane and isooctane. The two fundamental components of gasoline are n-heptane and isooctane. Isooctane has strong anti-knock properties and acts as a stabilizer for gasoline, while n-heptane is highly flammable and acts as an accelerator. These two components interact, and the higher the isooctane content, the stronger the anti-knock performance of the gasoline. 92 gasoline has an octane rating of 92 and is suitable for mid-range cars (with relatively low compression ratios), while 95 gasoline has an octane rating of 95 and contains 3% n-heptane. 2. Higher octane ratings indicate stronger anti-knock performance. The grade of gasoline is an indicator of its anti-knock performance and is not directly related to cleanliness, power, or combustion value. The higher the gasoline grade, the better its ability to resist engine knocking. The main difference between 92 and 95 gasoline is that 95 has stronger anti-knock properties than 92.
