Can the MG HS use 95 octane gasoline?
2 Answers
MG HS cannot use 95 octane gasoline; the MG HS requires 92 octane gasoline. Hazards of using 95 octane gasoline in the MG HS: Using 95 octane gasoline may lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in carbon deposits and insufficient power. Additionally, switching from 92 octane to 95 octane gasoline may slightly increase fuel consumption during the adjustment period. While using gasoline with a higher octane rating than required by the engine is permissible, it does not offer any advantages in terms of engine power output or fuel efficiency. Precautions when refueling: Turn off the engine, do not smoke or use open flames, avoid using mobile phones, prevent fuel spillage, and do not overfill the tank.
The MG HS can use 95-octane gasoline. As an owner who has driven this car for nearly three years and frequently refueled at different gas stations, I can confirm that 95-octane works perfectly fine. The manual recommends 92-octane or higher. Initially, I used 92-octane to save money, but I noticed the engine runs quieter and acceleration feels smoother with 95-octane. Long-term use hasn’t caused any issues. Don’t believe rumors that higher-octane fuel harms the car—the engine is designed to handle common gasoline grades. Just avoid frequently switching between different octane levels (e.g., alternating between 92 and 95), as it might affect the electronic systems. For daily driving, 92-octane is worry-free, but using 95-octane occasionally on highways for better performance is also a good option.
