Is it better to use 92 or 95 gasoline for the Nissan X-Trail?
2 Answers
Both 92 and 95 octane gasoline can be used for the Nissan X-Trail. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through distillation and cracking, and can be used as fuel. Here is more information about the Nissan X-Trail: 1. The Nissan X-Trail is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV. Taking the 2021 X-Trail as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4675mm, width 1820mm, height 1722mm, wheelbase 2706mm, minimum ground clearance 208mm, and fuel tank capacity 65 liters. 2. The 2021 X-Trail is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 111kW and a maximum torque of 194Nm, paired with a CVT transmission.
The owner's manual of the X-Trail recommends using 92-octane gasoline, so I've been strictly sticking to it. Although 95-octane fuel has better anti-knock performance, our X-Trail's engine compression ratio isn't that high, so there's really no need to waste extra money. I've tried 95 before, and the fuel consumption and power response were almost identical to 92, but seeing the price difference at the pump was quite painful. With fuel prices so high now, filling up with 92 saves about twenty yuan per tank, and those savings add up. Of course, if the fuel cap explicitly requires 95, then that's a must. Remember to choose reputable gas stations when refueling—fuel quality matters more than the octane rating. Even high-octane fuel from small stations can damage the engine.
