Should the Honda Fit use 95 octane gasoline?
1 Answers
The Honda Fit does not require 95 octane gasoline; 92 octane is sufficient. Here are the relevant details: 1. The manufacturer recommends using 92 octane gasoline for the Fit. Of course, using 95 octane is also possible, but it would simply be a waste of money—unless cost is not a concern for you. 2. The appropriate gasoline grade for a car should always follow the manufacturer's recommendation. You can find the recommended gasoline grade on the fuel tank cap or in the vehicle's user manual. 3. Higher octane gasoline is not necessarily better for your car. The octane rating represents the gasoline's resistance to knocking (anti-knock index). A higher octane number indicates a higher concentration of isooctane, which improves the fuel's anti-knock properties. A car's engine has various parameters, such as compression ratio and ignition timing, which are preset by the manufacturer during production. Therefore, as long as the owner strictly follows the manual's recommendations for gasoline selection, there will be no issues.
