The Cruze should use 92 octane gasoline. There are certain differences between using 95 octane and 92 octane gasoline in the engine. Below are the relevant details: Consequences of changing gasoline types: Switching to a lower octane gasoline may cause premature combustion, leading to engine knocking. Incomplete combustion can also increase carbon deposits, potentially clogging fuel lines and injectors. This may result in fuel supply interruptions and engine stalling. Differences between 92 and 95 octane gasoline: The main differences between 95 and 92 octane gasoline lie in compression ratio requirements, octane ratings, and price. The composition of n-heptane and isooctane differs between the two fuels. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane.
