CVT transmissions cannot coast in neutral, and coasting in neutral is also a driving behavior explicitly prohibited by Chinese law, which is very dangerous. Here is some extended information: Hazards: Most fuel-injected engine control systems have a deceleration fuel reduction or fuel cut-off function. For these fuel-injected engines, it is no longer necessary to use neutral coasting to save fuel. In fact, coasting in neutral can turn "fuel-saving" into "fuel-wasting" and is highly harmful to the vehicle. Fault issues: When driving in gear, the transmission oil can be cooled by circulating water through the oil pump. In neutral, the transmission oil cannot be circulated and cooled by the oil pump. Prolonged coasting in neutral can cause the oil temperature to rise, burning the clutch plates immersed in it and leading to transmission failure.

Should the Porsche 911 use 95 or 98 octane gasoline?

The Porsche 911 has a minimum required fuel octane rating of 95. Of course, you can also use gasoline with an octane rating of 95 or higher, such as 98 octane. Moreover, 98 octane gasoline has stronger anti-knock properties and higher combustion value, providing more powerful performance. Information about gasoline octane ratings is as follows: 1. The gasoline octane rating is the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. 2. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane. Higher octane ratings are not necessarily better; the appropriate gasoline octane rating should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio. 3. To evaluate the anti-knock performance of fuel, two methods are generally used: the Motor Method and the Research Method. The evaluation is typically conducted on a specially designed single-cylinder engine with variable compression ratio.
