Is there a noticeable difference in power between 95 and 98 octane gasoline?
1 Answers
There is basically no difference in power between 95 and 98 octane gasoline. The real difference between 95 and 98 octane gasoline lies in the different proportions of isooctane and n-heptane. 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane, while 98 octane gasoline contains 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane. The proportion of isooctane affects the anti-knock performance of gasoline with different octane ratings. The higher the isooctane content, the better the anti-knock performance of the gasoline. Here is some relevant information: 1. Choose the gasoline grade according to the requirements in the car's user manual: Do not blindly use higher or lower octane gasoline, as this can lead to more carbon deposits. It is best to use the gasoline grade recommended by the manufacturer. 2. Do not mix gasoline: When using gasoline, do not mix different types. Do not mix kerosene or diesel into gasoline, as this can intensify knocking, severely impair the lubrication effect of the engine, and shorten the engine's lifespan.
