Should Infiniti Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?
2 Answers
Infiniti can use 92 octane or higher gasoline. The official combined fuel consumption (L/100km) provided for the Infiniti Q50L is 7.4-7.6L/100km, while user reports vary widely, which reflects real-world fuel consumption as driving conditions differ. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: Traffic congestion is often unavoidable, especially in urban areas with frequent traffic lights, where rapid acceleration and deceleration during stop-and-go traffic are inevitable, leading to particularly high fuel consumption in such conditions. Note 2: Most icons on the car dashboard are used to alert the driver to the current 'health' status of the vehicle. It is crucial to understand what each icon represents, as this plays a very important role in driving safety.
I've been driving an Infiniti QX60 for six years and always insisted on using 95-octane gasoline. When I first bought the car, I tried 92-octane fuel to save money, but the engine developed slight vibrations during high-speed acceleration, and fuel consumption increased from the usual 10L/100km to around 11L. Later, I checked the owner's manual, which clearly recommends 95-octane or higher gasoline due to the engine's compression ratio design requiring it to prevent knocking. Using 95-octane fuel long-term has made the car run much smoother with more linear power delivery. By the way, regarding maintenance, good fuel reduces carbon buildup and prevents internal engine wear. I advise other owners not to cut corners—while 95-octane is more expensive, it leads to much lower repair costs in the long run. Specific models may vary, so it's best to check the manual before deciding.
