Can Gasoline Be Mixed?
1 Answers
Strictly speaking, it cannot be mixed. Here are the relevant details: 1. Note: Different octane ratings do not indicate differences in gasoline purity. The octane rating reflects the gasoline's resistance to knocking. Higher octane ratings provide better anti-knock performance, which is why luxury cars typically require 97# gasoline (knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon that can cause irregular pressure in the engine combustion chamber, leading to engine damage). 2. Risks of Mixing: Mixing gasoline may cause engine knocking. The compression ratio is the ratio of the maximum to minimum volume in the cylinder. Engines with higher compression ratios generally offer greater power and fuel efficiency but are often less stable. Mixing gasoline could result in engine knocking.
