Is There Any Harm in Using 98 Octane Gasoline in a Car Designed for 92 Octane?
1 Answers
Using 98 octane gasoline in a car designed for 92 octane does not harm the vehicle. Generally, the type of gasoline to be used is determined by the engine's compression ratio. The higher the compression ratio, the higher the anti-knock quality of the gasoline required; otherwise, engine knocking may occur. The minimum gasoline standard is usually indicated on the fuel tank cap, and it is advisable to follow these recommendations. Additional Information: If 92 octane gasoline is used in a car that requires 98 octane, mixing them for a short period may not cause significant issues. However, prolonged use can lead to engine knocking, especially noticeable during idling. Continuous mixed usage over time may also result in increased engine carbon deposits and higher fuel consumption.
