Can a Turbocharged Car Use 92 Octane Gasoline?
1 Answers
Turbocharged cars should not use 92 octane gasoline, as it can cause engine knocking, which may affect the engine's power output and fuel consumption, and even damage the engine. Turbocharged cars refer to those equipped with turbocharged engines, and it is recommended to use 95 octane gasoline for such vehicles to prevent engine knocking. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation or cracking processes, primarily used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. The octane rating of gasoline measures the anti-knock properties of a specific gasoline mixture (which can cause knocking and reduce the efficiency of reciprocating engines).
