Can Gasoline from Different Brands Be Mixed?

[DeAlex]

Gasoline from different brands can be mixed in small amounts, as long as it is from a legitimate gas station. Mixing gasoline of different octane ratings is certainly harmful to the car, but the effects won’t be immediately noticeable. Therefore, it is best to avoid mixing gasoline of different octane ratings whenever possible. Short-term mixing won’t cause significant damage, but long-term mixing should not be overlooked. Prolonged mixing of different octane ratings can affect the lifespan of the car’s ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs, potentially leading to earlier major repairs. After mixing different octane gasoline, no special maintenance is usually required. However, whenever possible, it is advisable to use the gasoline grade specified for the vehicle.
