Should the Dongfeng Honda CRV use 92 or 95 gasoline?

[LeRuth]

The Dongfeng Honda CRV is suitable for 92 octane and above unleaded gasoline. Here is some relevant information about the Dongfeng Honda CRV: 1. The Dongfeng Honda CRV is equipped with two displacement engines, 2.0 and 2.4. The 2.0L double overhead camshaft i-VTEC engine has a maximum power of 110kW/6500rpm and a maximum torque of 190N·m/4000rpm. 2. Low-compression ratio engines are generally installed in low-end vehicles, and most of them use 92 octane gasoline. If 95 or 98 octane gasoline is used, the higher the octane rating, the better the stability, making it less likely for the engine to experience abnormal operation due to knocking. 3. If a high-compression ratio engine uses low-octane gasoline, the consequences are more severe than the first scenario, and the vehicle is prone to knocking, engine shaking, and other issues in a short period. Naturally aspirated engines, unlike turbocharged engines, do not require higher-octane gasoline, but this does not mean that 95 octane gasoline cannot be used. Higher-octane gasoline can make the engine more stable and slightly improve performance.

When it comes to fuel choice for the Dongfeng Honda CR-V, I've been driving this car for over three years and always used 92-octane gasoline. It feels completely sufficient. Honda designed it with 92-octane as the minimum standard, so it's fine for daily commuting and saves money—I save dozens of yuan on fuel each month. If you mostly drive in the city, 92-octane is more than enough, and the engine won't have issues easily. However, if you frequently drive on highways or prefer stronger performance, occasionally trying 95-octane can make acceleration smoother, though it's slightly more expensive. I only switch to 95-octane for weekend outings. In short, don't overthink it—the manual states 92-octane is acceptable. Using the wrong fuel could actually be unsafe.

My CR-V is the 2020 model, and the manual recommends at least 92 octane gasoline. I've been using 92 without any issues, with an average city fuel consumption of around 7.5L/100km. Compared to using 95 octane, the power is indeed slightly better, especially with smoother engine response, but the price difference makes it not worth it. In the long run, 92 octane is sufficient, the key is not to mix fuels or use low-quality gasoline. Occasionally during maintenance, technicians suggest using 95 octane to clean carbon deposits, but I believe saving money is the priority. 92 octane is available everywhere, which is very convenient. Remember, timely oil changes are the key.

The Honda CR-V runs perfectly fine on 92-octane gasoline, saving you both money and hassle. For my daily commute using 92-octane, fuel consumption remains stable at 7.5L/100km, reducing expenses by 30%. While 95-octane might offer slightly better performance, the difference is negligible and not worth the extra cost. Unless you're aggressively driving on racetracks, don't bother - 92-octane is the most sensible choice.
