Should the Avancier 240 use 92 or 95 octane fuel?

[MelanieFitz]

The Avancier 240 Turbo model uses 92 octane fuel. The Avancier is a mid-size SUV under Honda, with dimensions of 4858mm in length, 1942mm in width, and 1670mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2820mm. The Avancier is equipped with two engines: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 142 kW and a maximum torque of 243 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5600 rpm and the maximum torque available between 2000 to 5000 rpm. This engine features VTEC technology and direct fuel injection, and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with a CVT transmission.

I've been driving the Honda Avancier 240 with a 1.5T engine for over two years. The manual recommends using 92-octane gasoline, and I've consistently used 92 without any issues. This engine was designed with 92-octane in mind, which is perfectly sufficient for daily driving—it accelerates smoothly on city roads. While theoretically, 95-octane could slightly improve anti-knock performance, Honda's tuning is so smart that you don’t need to waste money on it under normal conditions. Saving a few cents per liter with 92-octane adds up to hundreds over six months, which is wallet-friendly. I also make sure to use unleaded fuel, keeping the engine running as smooth as new with regular fuel system checks. The money saved can be put toward better maintenance—why not?

I've researched Honda's engine technology, and 92-octane gasoline is the most suitable for the Avancier 240. The engine is based on the Earth Dreams platform, and the 92-octane matches perfectly, resulting in high combustion efficiency, less carbon buildup, and easier maintenance. While 95-octane has a higher rating, theoretically reducing knocking during high temperatures or uphill driving, I've tested and found almost no noticeable difference in city driving. Higher octane doesn't mean better performance; instead, it increases costs unnecessarily. I recommend sticking to the user manual's guidance—92-octane is sufficient. Only consider occasionally using 95-octane if you frequently drive at high speeds on highways or encounter special road conditions. The key is to regularly check the fuel filter and maintain clean air intake.

I've been driving the Avancier 240 for over a year, using 92-octane gasoline as recommended in the manual – it's cost-effective and reliable. The engine's fuel pressure has been tuned to work well with 92 octane, minimizing knock risk with high safety. While 95-octane is slightly more expensive, the performance difference is negligible, so saving money makes more sense. I always fill up with unleaded fuel at reputable stations, and the engine remains responsive. Regular maintenance is key; don't fall for upsells pushing premium fuel.
