Is Higher Octane Gasoline Always Better?
1 Answers
Higher octane gasoline is not necessarily better. Here are specific details about automotive gasoline: 1. Classification: Gasoline products can be divided into three main categories based on their usage: aviation gasoline, automotive gasoline, and solvent gasoline. The first two are primarily used as fuel for gasoline engines, widely employed in cars, motorcycles, speedboats, helicopters, and agricultural/forestry aircraft. 2. Avoid mixing different octane ratings: Mixing gasoline grades won't cause significant damage to vehicles, but it's advisable to avoid mixing gasoline whenever possible. Since gasoline is a mixture, the octane ratings we commonly see indicate different levels of octane content. While mixing fuels with intermediate octane values may not severely affect the engine, to ensure vehicle safety, it's best to avoid mixing gasoline grades during refueling.
