Can 95 Octane and 92 Octane Gasoline Be Mixed?
1 Answers
95 octane and 92 octane gasoline should not be mixed. Long-term mixing of different octane ratings can affect the lifespan of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled or cracked from petroleum, used as fuel, and appears as a transparent liquid. 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane, while 92 octane gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. The main difference between the two lies in the purity of isooctane—the higher the purity of isooctane, the stronger the gasoline's anti-knock performance.
