Recently, many people around me have been asking whether the Trumpchi M8 can use 92-octane gasoline. Based on my experience driving this model, here’s my take. The GAC Trumpchi M8 is an MPV whose engine was designed to be compatible with 92-octane fuel, making it perfectly suitable for daily commutes or family trips—saving some fuel costs without worrying about engine damage. The manufacturer’s manual typically recommends 92-octane or higher. If you feel the acceleration isn’t smooth enough with 92-octane, occasionally switching to 95-octane in hot weather can optimize performance. The key lies in usage habits: for long-distance highway driving, it’s advisable to regularly check fuel quality to avoid carbon buildup from low-grade gasoline. Overall, 92-octane is cost-effective, well-suited for Chinese road conditions, and widely available at gas stations.
