Can a Ferrari Use 95 Octane Gasoline?

[Maxine]

Ferrari models cannot use 95 octane gasoline because its stability is insufficient. Using 95 octane gasoline may cause engine knocking, which is an abnormal combustion phenomenon. Knocking can lead to reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, may even cause connecting rod deformation or piston fracture. High-performance supercar engines require 98 octane gasoline, and some supercar engines even need 102 octane racing fuel. One of Ferrari's classic models is the 250 California, designed by Pininfarina and primarily constructed with steel featuring aluminum open panels, manufactured by Scaglietti in Modena. In terms of the engine, this car is equipped with a 3-liter V12 engine with single overhead camshafts per cylinder bank. The factory reference numbers are 128C and 128D, with a displacement of 2953cc, bore and stroke of 73mm by 58.8mm, spark plugs located on the inner side of the V-cylinder block, sharing the same basic specifications as the contemporary Berlinetta.
