Whether to use 92 or 95 octane gasoline for the Mustang depends on the specific model: the 2.3T model can use 92 octane gasoline; the 5.0L model requires 95 octane gasoline. Taking the 2020 Ford Mustang as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4794mm, width 1916mm, height 1391mm, wheelbase 2720mm, fuel tank capacity 58.9L, and curb weight 1702kg. The 2020 Ford Mustang features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, with a maximum horsepower of 299ps, maximum power of 220kW, maximum torque of 434Nm, and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

I've been driving a Mustang for several years and learned from a friend that using 95-octane fuel is best. It makes the engine run smoother, reduces those inexplicable knocking sounds, and delivers more powerful acceleration especially during high-speed driving. While 92-octane fuel is cheaper—saving about ten bucks per tank—long-term use can lead to increased carbon deposits, louder engine noise, and even necessitate premature maintenance of injectors or pistons, resulting in higher repair costs. I recommend regularly checking the fuel manual; the Mustang's factory settings actually recommend higher-octane fuel to protect the turbocharged system. I personally tried switching to 92-octane and felt the throttle response became sluggish—it didn't even last as long as 95 on long trips. Overall, 95 not only performs better but also reduces trips to the repair shop, making driving much more enjoyable.

The latest policy indicates that the vehicle inspection and environmental protection inspection labels have been merged into one. The vehicle exhaust inspection will proceed as usual, and as long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, there is no need to obtain the environmental protection label separately. The procedures for vehicle annual inspection are as follows: 1. The vehicle owner needs to fill out the annual vehicle inspection form and send the vehicle to the designated location for inspection on the date specified by the local vehicle management office. If the vehicle passes the inspection, the vehicle management authority will affix a qualified seal on the driving license and the annual vehicle inspection form; 2. For out-of-town inspections, the vehicle owner needs to submit an application, which will be forwarded by the original vehicle management office to the local vehicle management office for inspection. The inspection results will then be notified to the original vehicle management office; 3. For vehicles that cannot undergo the annual inspection on time due to special circumstances, an application for extension should be submitted to the local vehicle management office in advance.
