Is it a problem to use 92 gasoline in a car that requires 95?
1 Answers
Whether it is acceptable to use 92 gasoline in a car that requires 95 depends on the recommended or minimum gasoline grade specified on the inside of the fuel tank cap. If 92 gasoline falls within the manufacturer's allowed range, then it is permissible to use 92 gasoline in a car that requires 95. However, if 92 gasoline is not within the manufacturer's recommended gasoline grades, it is advised not to use it. Prolonged use of a lower gasoline grade than recommended can lead to engine knocking. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation or cracking processes. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines and consists mainly of organic compounds obtained from crude oil distillation and various additives.
