Can the Tiguan 1.8T use 92 octane gasoline?
1 Answers
Tiguan 1.8T cannot use 92 octane gasoline as it may affect the vehicle's performance. The Volkswagen Tiguan 1.8T turbocharged engine performs better with 95 octane gasoline, which allows for more complete combustion. Regarding the selection of fuel for motor vehicles, it is recommended to strictly follow the vehicle's user manual and use 95 octane gasoline. The following are characteristics of gasoline: 1. Volatility. Gasoline must rapidly vaporize in the engine cylinder and form a uniform combustible mixture with air, which is mainly determined by the gasoline's own volatility. The main indicators reflecting volatility are distillation range and saturated vapor pressure. 2. Anti-knock property. The property that measures whether a fuel is prone to knocking is called anti-knock property, which is indicated by the octane number (RON). The higher the octane number of gasoline, the better its anti-knock property. 3. Corrosiveness. Gasoline corrosiveness is related to sulfur and sulfur compounds, organic acids, water-soluble acids, or bases.
