Can Gasoline from Different Gas Stations Be Mixed?
1 Answers
Gasoline from different gas stations can be mixed. Indeed, there are certain differences in the fuel quality among different gas stations because their fuel sources vary. Even within the same chain of gas stations, fuel quality may differ. Variations in fuel quality are normal, and as long as the fuel meets national standards, mixing them together is not a problem. However, gasoline with different octane ratings should not be mixed. If two different types of gasoline are mixed, combustion in the vehicle's engine may not be as efficient as when using a single type of fuel, potentially leading to the accumulation of combustion residues. If a vehicle is consistently fueled with a mix of 92 and 95 octane gasoline over a long period, the engine may accumulate excessive carbon deposits, affecting performance, increasing fuel consumption, and even disrupting normal engine operation.
