Should Roewe Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?
2 Answers
According to Roewe's recommendation, gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or higher should be used, so generally, 92 octane gasoline is sufficient. Below is an extended introduction: Recommended to use gasoline with the specified octane rating or higher: Use automotive gasoline that complies with the national mandatory standards and the recommended octane rating. Using gasoline with a lower octane rating can cause severe damage to the engine and catalytic converter, reduce engine power and torque, and increase fuel consumption. If lower octane gasoline is used, engine knocking noises may be heard. Please switch to the recommended octane rating or higher as soon as possible. Use gasoline suitable for the car's compression ratio: If a car with a high compression ratio uses gasoline with a lower octane rating, it will not only damage the car but also increase fuel consumption. Conversely, using higher octane gasoline in a car with a lower compression ratio will not only be economically wasteful but also cause slow ignition, prolonged combustion time, reduced power, and even damage to the exhaust manifold. Only by using gasoline that matches the car's compression ratio can engine power be improved, driving range increased, and fuel saved.
I usually drive a Roewe, and filling up with gasoline is pretty straightforward. I generally use 92 octane because it's cheaper, saving a few cents per liter, and my car is the standard model with the manual recommending 92 octane—it runs just fine. Of course, if you're driving a Roewe SUV or a turbocharged model, you might need 95 octane for smoother performance. By the way, gasoline choice relates to the engine's compression ratio. 92 octane has a lower octane rating, which suits regular engines perfectly. Using 95 octane unnecessarily not only wastes money but could also affect long-term wear on the fuel system. In short, always check your car's manual—don’t cut corners to save a buck.
