Using gasoline from private gas stations can affect the car. Occasionally using it once is not a big problem, but frequent use of poor-quality gasoline can easily lead to increased carbon deposits or detonation, which may damage the engine over time. Reasons why private gas stations offer cheaper gasoline: Different sources of fuel: Regular gas stations provide high-quality fuel, which naturally comes at a higher price. To ensure profits, private gas stations often look for ways to cut costs on fuel, sourcing from regional refineries, which results in lower prices. However, long-term use of low-quality fuel can cause rapid accumulation of carbon deposits in the car, with increased fuel consumption and sluggish acceleration being the most common symptoms. Lower operating costs: Private gas stations are usually located in remote areas, occupy smaller spaces, and have fewer staff, which reduces their operating costs.
