Motorcycles can use 95 octane gasoline. Because 95 octane gasoline has better quality and is also better for motorcycle engines. The following is relevant information about motorcycle fuel: Gasoline octane rating: The octane rating of gasoline mainly refers to the ratio of the gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline (knocking) (standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane). The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Difference: 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane, and the remaining 5% is n-heptane. The higher the proportion of isooctane, the better the anti-knock ability of the gasoline. This means that 92 octane gasoline is more prone to detonation, but with less explosive force; 95 octane gasoline is less prone to detonation, but with greater explosive force.

I've been riding motorcycles for ten years and am used to using 95-octane gasoline because of its high octane rating and good anti-knock properties, which allow the engine to run more smoothly. The key is to check what your vehicle manual recommends. For example, most modern motorcycles are suitable for 91 or 95-octane fuel. Never use fuel with a lower rating than recommended, as it may cause knocking and damage the engine. In fact, 95-octane gasoline is available at most gas stations. Choosing it not only ensures stable performance but also reduces carbon buildup issues. However, remember that if your bike doesn't require high-octane fuel, using 95-octane is just a waste of money; only high-compression engines like those in sports bikes truly benefit. I recommend regularly checking the fuel system and filters to keep everything clean, ensuring a safe and worry-free ride.

Should You Use High Beam or Low Beam in Highway Tunnels?

When entering a tunnel on the highway, you should use low beam headlights. If there is no lighting inside the tunnel, you should alternately use high and low beams to signal. Here is more information about turning on car lights after entering a tunnel: Position Lights (Marker Lights): Because the light outside the tunnel during the day is intense and glaring, while the light inside the tunnel is relatively dim, there is a period of eye adaptation when entering the tunnel. During this process, drivers can easily misjudge road conditions. Turning on the lights helps drivers observe the road and alerts other vehicles. Low Beam Headlights: You should turn on low beam headlights when entering a tunnel. They provide close-range illumination, allowing you to see other vehicles and the conditions inside the tunnel clearly. They also make your vehicle visible to those behind you. Driving in a tunnel without lights poses certain safety risks.
