Whether a V6 engine should use 92 or 95 octane gasoline mainly depends on the driver's power requirements. Using 95 octane gasoline will result in greater engine power output. Each engine undergoes a comprehensive evaluation before leaving the factory, and based on performance data characteristics, the required anti-knock properties are determined, which dictates the appropriate gasoline octane rating. The differences between 92 and 95 octane gasoline mainly lie in their octane ratings, anti-knock properties, and prices. 92 octane gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline is composed of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Gasoline with higher octane ratings has greater anti-knock properties. 95 octane gasoline is more expensive than 92 octane because it contains a higher proportion of isooctane. Each engine undergoes a comprehensive evaluation before leaving the factory, and based on performance data characteristics, the required anti-knock properties are determined, which dictates the appropriate gasoline octane rating. Fuel usage precautions: Maintain consistent use of one type of gasoline; mixing different types is harmful to the engine and fuel system. The choice of gasoline octane rating should be based on the engine's compression ratio. Higher octane ratings are not necessarily better, and blindly using high-octane fuel is not advisable.

Is On-site Simulation Necessary for Subject 2?

On-site simulation is necessary for Subject 2. There are certain differences between the practice driving area and the examination venue. Familiarizing yourself with the examination venue in advance can help avoid confusion, especially for students with a weaker sense of direction. Each examination venue for Subject 2 and Subject 3 is different, and the models and conditions of the examination vehicles also vary. All these factors can affect the students' examination performance. Pre-examination simulation can help students become familiar with the venue layout, understand the sequence of examination items, and resolve any issues encountered during the simulation before the actual exam. For students who think that Subject 3 offers two examination attempts and consider sacrificing the first attempt, do not take chances. Simulation allows you to complete the entire process and understand the full examination structure, but during the actual exam, time is limited, and you won't have such an opportunity.

Why can't a scooter start after rain?

Failure to start and accelerate after getting wet in rain is generally caused by water entering the air filter, fuel tank, or carburetor, or moisture in the ignition system components such as the ignition coil, high-voltage coil, high-voltage wire, spark plug cap, ignition switch, and wiring connections. Common reasons for starting difficulties in scooters are as follows: 1. Fuel system issues: Mainly caused by fuel valve failure (no fuel flow), clogged fuel filter, carburetor issues (no fuel flow or overly rich mixture), or bent fuel lines. 2. Electrical system issues: Short circuits in electrical components (e.g., ignition switch, high-voltage coil, ignition coil, or magneto failure), or open circuits due to loose wiring harness connectors. 3. Air pressure issues: Insufficient cylinder compression, improper air filter resistance, or engine intake/exhaust system faults.
