Is it necessary to use 95-octane gasoline for the Edge?

It is not necessary. When refueling the Edge model, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 92 should be used. Below is an introduction to the relevant content: Refueling: When refueling, you can choose either 92-octane or 95-octane gasoline. The proportion of isooctane in 92-octane gasoline is much lower than that in 95-octane gasoline. The higher the octane rating, the higher the isooctane value. The higher the proportion of isooctane, the better the gasoline's anti-knock performance. Mixing gasoline: If the vehicle has been using 92-octane gasoline, it can be mixed with 95-octane gasoline, although the anti-knock performance will differ. In other words, lower-octane gasoline can be mixed with higher-octane gasoline, but gasoline that has been consistently using 95-octane cannot be mixed with 92-octane gasoline. This means higher-octane gasoline should not be mixed with lower-octane gasoline, except temporarily in emergencies. After mixing, fuel additives can be added for cleaning purposes.

I've been driving my Edge for over three years, always using 92-octane gasoline, and it runs smoothly without any issues. The manufacturer's manual recommends 87-octane fuel, which is equivalent to our domestic 92-octane, and it's perfectly adequate. Using 95-octane is significantly more expensive, costing over one yuan more per liter, which can save you more than ten yuan in pocket money each month. Of course, if you occasionally want to enjoy a bit more, adding some 95-octane might make the throttle response feel quicker, especially on the highway, but it's not necessary. I know many Edge owners who use 92-octane for daily commuting, saving money and driving with peace of mind. The key is to base it on your driving habits; regular fuel is sufficient for city traffic jams, don't be fooled into thinking you need to use more expensive fuel. Remember, regular maintenance is more important than using higher-octane fuel; spending money on oil changes is a wiser investment.
