How much 92 left can add 95?

[McPaige]

No matter how much 92 gasoline is left, you can add 95 gasoline. Here are the relevant introductions about 92 and 95 gasoline: 1. If the car uses 92 gasoline, you can mix 92 and 95. If the car uses 95 gasoline, it is not recommended to mix 92 and 95 gasoline, otherwise it is easy to cause knocking phenomenon in the engine. 2. Most turbocharged engines need to use 95 gasoline, because the temperature and pressure inside the turbocharged engine are relatively high during operation. 3. When refueling the vehicle, choose the most suitable gasoline grade marked on the inside of the fuel tank cap, and do not choose a higher grade gasoline in order to have better power or cleaner.

A while ago, my car had a similar issue. Actually, you can switch to 95-octane gasoline no matter how much 92-octane is left in the tank. The fuel tank isn’t some precision instrument—mixing them won’t cause an explosion. But if you want to keep it simple, I’d recommend waiting until the fuel gauge drops below the one-quarter mark before adding 95-octane, so the mix ratio of old and new fuel is lower. Of course, some people insist on running the tank completely dry before switching grades, which is just unnecessary fuss. My old Corolla has been mixing fuels since it was new, and after five years and 100,000 kilometers, it’s still running smoothly without any issues. Remember, the octane rating mainly affects anti-knock performance—mixing fuels once or twice won’t make a difference. Don’t fall for those pseudoscience claims.

My family's auto repair shop master mechanic told me this story - you can mix 95-octane gas when there's only a small amount of 92-octane left in the tank. To be specific, it's most cost-effective to add 95 when the fuel gauge shows two bars remaining, which is about 7 liters capacity, making the 95-octane account for 70% of the mix. Of course, the small amount of 92-octane at the bottom doesn't matter at all, as modern fuel-injected cars have knock sensors that automatically adjust ignition timing. Here's a little-known fact: 92 and 95 actually share the same base fuel, they just have different additive ratios. Last week when servicing a customer's BMW, we found his engine - which had been running on mixed 92/95 for years - showed remarkably little carbon buildup even after 100,000 km when we opened it up. The key is to consistently use major brands like Sinopec - it's the inconsistent quality between different grades at small independent gas stations that really damages engines.

After multiple tests, it's safe to fill up with 95-octane gasoline when the fuel tank is down to one-eighth. Converted to volume, it's most reliable to switch grades when 5-10 liters remain in a typical family car. The principle is simple: gasoline mixing doesn't cause chemical reactions - different grades only vary in octane ratings. My six-year-old Sagitar has frequently used this method without ever triggering a warning light. Special reminder for turbocharged vehicle owners: if the manufacturer recommends 95-octane, try not to mix directly when the tank is full of 92-octane. While it won't damage the car, you might feel slightly sluggish acceleration during hard acceleration. Of course, occasional emergency mixing is completely fine - it will dilute cleanly by the next refueling.
