Can Lamborghini Not Use 92 Octane Gasoline?

[JeffreyMarie]

Lamborghini cannot use 92 octane gasoline. The Aventador requires 98 octane gasoline, while the Urus and Huracán need 95 octane gasoline. If the engine is filled with lower octane fuel, the engine's operating condition is likely to be affected to some extent, making it difficult to control the fuel combustion rhythm. In mild cases, this may result in reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, and louder engine noise. In severe cases, it may cause engine knocking, and damage internal engine components as well as spark plugs. If the engine is filled with higher octane fuel, no significant issues will arise during use. At most, incomplete combustion may occur, potentially leading to carbon buildup in the engine during operation.

As an average car owner, I once considered whether it would be feasible to use 92-octane gasoline in my Lamborghini. After all, saving money is human nature. However, I later learned that this car is designed to require high-octane fuel. Lamborghini engines have a high compression ratio, and using lower-octane fuel can cause knocking—where the fuel ignites prematurely. At best, this leads to reduced power and rough acceleration; at worst, it can damage pistons, valves, or even cause the engine to fail. I checked the manual and confirmed that at least 95 or 98-octane gasoline must be used to prevent this issue. While 92-octane may be slightly cheaper, it could result in exorbitant repair costs or even safety hazards. Now, I only fill up with 98-octane at reputable gas stations to ensure smooth driving. I also share this advice with fellow car enthusiasts, reminding them not to cut corners by ignoring the manual’s requirements. This not only protects their beloved cars but also ensures a more worry-free and enjoyable driving experience.

From an auto repair perspective, high-performance cars like Lamborghini should never use 92-octane gasoline. Their engines are precision-built with compression ratios typically exceeding 10:1, requiring high-octane fuel to prevent knocking. Knocking is like uncontrolled explosions inside the engine that can damage critical components such as piston rings. Using lower-octane fuel leads to insufficient knock resistance, resulting in long-term engine performance degradation and frequent repairs. I've encountered several clients who faced severe engine knocking and repair costs exceeding tens of thousands after using the wrong fuel. Therefore, I strongly advise owners to strictly follow the manufacturer's recommended fuel grade (usually 95-octane or higher) and never cut corners. Additionally, choosing reliable gas stations to avoid fuel quality issues can extend engine life and reduce unexpected expenses.

From a cost perspective, using 92-octane gasoline for a Lamborghini is not cost-effective. While the price may seem cheaper, saving a few dozen dollars per tank could potentially cause engine knocking damage, leading to repairs costing tens of thousands. This is simply not worth the risk. Using recommended high-octane fuels like 95-octane or above ensures combustion efficiency, prevents performance degradation and potential failures, saving long-term expenses and maintaining the car's value. Personally, prioritizing daily driving safety is wiser than taking unnecessary risks.
