Is it suitable for Honda Liew Xing to use 92 or 95 gasoline?
3 Answers
Honda Liew Xing is suitable for using 95 gasoline, and the reasons are: it makes the vehicle idle smoothly, accelerates faster, reduces knocking, and can provide stronger power to the engine. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled or cracked from petroleum, which is a colorless to light yellow easily flowing liquid at room temperature, difficult to dissolve in water, and flammable. Taking the Honda Liew Xing 125 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 1737mm, width 692mm, height 1120mm, wheelbase 1228mm, fuel tank capacity 6.4l, and curb weight 110kg.
I've ridden the Honda Scoopy for several years, and using 92-octane gasoline is the most suitable choice. The manual also emphasizes that this is sufficient, with no need for 95-octane. The Scoopy's engine compression ratio is optimized for 92-octane fuel. While 95-octane theoretically has a higher octane rating and reduces knock risk, it offers no noticeable improvement for daily urban commuting—just unnecessary extra expense. I even tested 95-octane during long-distance rides in hot weather: startup felt slightly quicker, but fuel efficiency remained unchanged, making the overall cost impractical. The key is regular maintenance, like cleaning the fuel system to prevent clogging from impurities—otherwise, higher octane ratings won't help. Using low-quality gasoline long-term can cause carbon buildup and shorten engine life, so stick to reputable gas stations and maintain consistent fueling habits.
I've been using the Honda Scoopy for commuting for a while now and find that 92-octane gasoline is sufficient and economical. My daily commute is about 15 kilometers, and a full tank lasts me a week. Switching to 95-octane would add an extra few dozen yuan to my monthly expenses, but there's no noticeable difference in acceleration. The Scoopy's scooter design isn't picky about fuel grade—the manual states that 92 is the standard choice. While using 95-octane might be slightly better in extreme heat or under heavy loads, it's not worth the extra cost. I've also followed forum discussions where some users reported running their Scoopy on 92-octane for 100,000 kilometers without major repairs, proving that proper maintenance is key. Regularly replacing the air filter and spark plugs, along with keeping the fuel clean, is far more important than obsessing over fuel grade.
