Can 95 and 98 Octane Gasoline Be Mixed?
1 Answers
95 octane gasoline and 98 octane gasoline should not be mixed in strict terms. However, since their chemical compositions and other aspects are quite similar, and both have strong anti-knock properties, mixing them generally does not cause significant issues. Nevertheless, it is still best to use them separately. Here is some relevant information about 95 octane and 98 octane gasoline: 1. 95 Octane Gasoline: 95 octane gasoline is a mixture of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. High-compression engines should use high-octane gasoline. If low-octane gasoline is used in a high-compression engine, it can lead to abnormal combustion, resulting in knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving power. 2. 98 Octane Gasoline: 98 octane gasoline is a mixture of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane. The advantages of 98 octane gasoline are 'two highs and two lows': higher anti-knock performance and power output, and lower harmful substances in the gasoline and reduced exhaust pollution.
