Geely Boyue Pro: Should You Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?
1 Answers
Geely Boyue Pro uses 92 octane gasoline. Reasons for using 92 octane: The turbocharged engine in the Geely Boyue Pro is designed for 92 octane gasoline, as this is the minimum fuel grade specified for its turbocharged engine. Therefore, it can use 92 octane or higher. The Geely Boyue Pro is a compact SUV launched by Geely Auto, available in two powertrain variants: one equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and the other with a 1.8T turbocharged engine. The 1.5T engine delivers a maximum power of 130 kW and a peak torque of 255 Nm, while the 1.8T engine produces a maximum power of 135 kW and a peak torque of 300 Nm. Notably, the engines in this model are independently developed by Geely Auto, utilizing production technology from Volvo Cars. In reality, the reason for different fuel grades lies in their varying effects. The most commonly used gasoline grades for cars are 92 and 95 octane, which are identical in quality but differ in anti-knock performance—higher octane fuels offer better resistance to knocking. 92 octane gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline is composed of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Engine knocking occurs when substandard fuel is used. Gasoline introduction: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation and cracking, primarily used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C5–C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons, cycloalkanes, and a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane rating (anti-knock combustion performance) and is categorized by octane levels into grades such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95, respectively.
