Should Older Volkswagen Magotan Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?
1 Answers
Officially, it is recommended to use 92 octane or higher gasoline, and 95 octane gasoline can also be used. Main Components of Gasoline: The main components of gasoline are hydrocarbons such as C5-C12 alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. The differences between different octane grades of gasoline lie in the slight variations in the content of alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as the difference in the content of the gasoline additive MTBE. Higher octane grades contain higher levels of alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, and MTBE. Octane Rating: Different fuel grades have different octane ratings, which determine the fuel grade based on the octane value. Higher-grade fuels have higher octane ratings, which provide better anti-knock performance. This results in smoother engine operation, reduced wear and tear on the vehicle, and better protection for the engine.
