Can 95 Octane Gasoline Be Added After Using 98 Octane?
1 Answers
It is possible to add 95 octane gasoline after using 98 octane, but it is important to avoid mixing different octane grades. Different octane ratings indicate varying levels of fuel anti-knock performance, with higher octane numbers offering better anti-knock properties. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through processes like distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis. Key characteristics of gasoline include volatility, stability, anti-knock performance, corrosiveness, and cleanliness. Engines with high compression ratios should use high-octane gasoline; using low-octane gasoline in such engines can lead to abnormal combustion, causing knocking and reduced driving performance.
