Does adding 92-octane gasoline affect the T-Roc?

Adding 92-octane gasoline does have an impact on the T-Roc's engine. Specific impacts: Using 92-octane gasoline affects power and fuel economy. If the T-Roc's engine uses 92-octane gasoline, it will result in reduced power and increased fuel consumption. This is because using 92-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking during operation. Introduction to 92-octane gasoline: 92-octane gasoline has an octane rating of 92 and a heptane rating of 8. It is suitable for mid-range vehicles (with lower compression ratios). On December 18, 2013, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the Standardization Administration of China jointly issued the fifth-stage national standard for automotive gasoline.

I've been driving the T-Roc for several years. The factory manual clearly states that it requires 95-octane fuel, as 92-octane has too low a rating and can easily cause engine knocking—premature combustion of gasoline in the cylinders, leading to increased component vibration. Over time, this accelerates piston ring wear, reduces power, and increases fuel consumption. I remember once trying to save money by using 92-octane fuel, and during highway driving, the engine developed slight tremors and louder noise, which scared me into switching back to 95-octane immediately. I advise fellow owners not to skimp on this expense. Always check your vehicle’s manual to ensure you’re using the correct fuel—it protects your car and saves money in the long run. If you have similar doubts, consult professional websites for maintenance guidelines.

As an ordinary car owner, I've personally experienced using 92-octane fuel. The T-Roc is designed for higher-grade 95-octane fuel, and 92-octane has poorer combustion efficiency. After using it, I felt less power during acceleration, fuel costs actually increased by about 10%, and I was worried about long-term damage. A friend of mine also tried it and ended up visiting the maintenance shop several more times, spending more money on repairs. Safety first is better than saving money—it's wiser to stick to the recommended fuel. Daily driving also becomes smoother. Everyone might want to pay attention to car communities to share experiences.

Using 92-octane gasoline may have an impact on the T-Roc. Insufficient octane can easily cause engine knocking, damaging components and reducing lifespan. It's best to follow the manufacturer's recommendation and use 95-octane fuel to avoid safety risks. Regularly check the fuel quality during maintenance to save money and reduce worries. Prioritize stability while driving—don't risk trouble to save money.
