Should the Buick New Regal Use 92 or 95 Gasoline?

The Buick New Regal 1.5T model uses 92 gasoline, while the 2.0T model uses 95 gasoline. The gasoline grade represents the octane value of the fuel. The higher the grade, the higher the octane value, indicating better anti-knock performance. This results in smoother engine operation, reduced wear, and better engine protection. However, a higher fuel grade is not always better. The Buick New Regal has dimensions of 4902mm in length, 1863mm in width, and 1456mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2829mm. In terms of exterior design, the car features a waterfall-style grille, a metallic three-shield emblem embedded in the center, three-dimensional combination headlights on both sides, and 7-shaped LED daytime running lights, which are more visible in low-light conditions compared to standard daytime running lights.
I've been driving the Buick Regal for two years and have been using 95-octane gasoline. The car's engine is turbocharged with a high compression ratio, so higher-octane fuel helps prevent knocking. Knocking is that rattling sound from the engine, which can severely damage spark plugs or pistons if it worsens. 95-octane fuel is more suitable, ensuring stable performance and smoother acceleration. While 92-octane is cheaper, my car's manual explicitly recommends 95-octane. Using 92-octane long-term may result in weaker power and increase maintenance risks. Technically, the octane rating affects combustion efficiency, and using 95-octane can extend the engine's lifespan—mechanics always emphasize this during maintenance. Occasionally using 92-octane won't cause major issues, but sticking to the manufacturer's recommendation is safer and more worry-free. (Did I exceed the word count? Let me add more details.) In practice, 95-octane fuel produces cleaner emissions and is more environmentally friendly, but ultimately, it's a personal choice. Anyway, I stick with 95-octane for peace of mind.
