Can gasoline from different gas stations be mixed together?
1 Answers
Gasoline from different gas stations can be mixed together as long as it has the same octane rating. The effects of mixing gasoline with different octane ratings are: 1. Shortening the service life of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs; 2. Advancing the time for major vehicle repairs; 3. Causing unstable power output in the vehicle; 4. Increasing exhaust emissions and harming the environment. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture obtained through distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, primarily composed of aliphatic hydrocarbons, naphthenes, and a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane rating and is classified into grades such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98 based on the octane rating.
