Mercedes-Benz G63 is recommended to use 98 octane gasoline, because turbocharged cars using 98 octane gasoline can increase engine pressure, make the fuel burn more fully, and allow the vehicle's performance to be better utilized. The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is a model based on the latest 2013 facelifted Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Compared to the standard version, the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is equipped with a large front bumper, and the full body styling is extremely dynamic and domineering. In terms of power, the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is equipped with a 5.5L V8 twin-turbocharged engine, with a maximum power output of 544 horsepower and a maximum torque of 760 N·m. In terms of acceleration, the car can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 5.4 seconds, with a top speed of 210km/h. It perfectly balances power, comfort, and off-road performance. The higher the quality of the car, the better the engine performance, and the higher the corresponding octane rating of the fuel required. The main difference between different octane ratings lies in the different octane values they contain. 95 octane gasoline refers to gasoline with 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane, while 98 octane gasoline refers to gasoline with 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane. The higher the octane value, the better the anti-knock performance and the lower the fuel consumption.

I always insist on using 98-octane fuel for my Mercedes-Benz G63, even though it's more expensive, it's absolutely worth it. This AMG engine has a high compression ratio and requires high-octane gasoline to resist knocking. 98-octane gasoline ensures smoother engine operation and more linear power output. The fuel cap clearly recommends 98-octane, with 95-octane only for emergency use. Once, in a remote area, I had to use 95-octane and immediately noticed slower throttle response and increased engine noise. Long-term use of lower-octane fuel may lead to more carbon deposits or even piston damage, and the repair costs would cover several years of 98-octane fuel. A high-performance car deserves high-quality fuel—don't skimp on this and shortchange it.

Can I Transfer to Another Driving School?

You can apply to transfer to another driving school. Below are the conditions for transferring: 1. Transfer of student records: Once enrolled in driving lessons, each student has a driving training file containing information such as "Training Schedule" and "Student Registration Form." The new driving school will use the transfer application to move the file to their institution through the transport management office, completing the transfer process. 2. Fee deduction and payment: The original driving school will deduct certain fees! The amount deducted varies depending on your progress and the terms of your contract. For specific details, you should consult the relevant driving school and local vehicle management regulations.

What is the difference between halogen lamps and xenon lamps?

Differences between halogen lamps and xenon lamps: 1. Different brightness: Halogen lamps have 1000 lumens; Xenon lamps have 3200 lumens. 2. Different working principles: Halogen lamps use filaments to emit light when electrified; Xenon lamps use high-pressure xenon gas to replace traditional filaments for discharge and light emission. Halogen bulbs, simply called halogen bulbs or halogen lamps, also known as tungsten halogen bulbs or quartz bulbs, are a variant of incandescent lamps. Their power supply voltage is usually divided into two types: AC 220V and DC 12V, 24V. Xenon lamps are electric light sources that use xenon gas discharge to emit light. Since the discharge material inside the lamp is the inert gas xenon, the excitation potential and ionization potential are relatively close.

What Should You Pay Attention to on the Highway?

Highway driving requires attention to safety. Here are some key precautions for highway driving: 1. Following too closely: If the distance between vehicles is too short, in case of an emergency, trucks with heavy loads may not stop in time, as their braking systems are designed to slow down rather than stop abruptly, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. 2. Forced lane changes: When changing lanes at high speeds, maintain a safe distance from the vehicle behind before switching lanes. However, in reality, it's common to encounter small cars forcing lane changes without signaling. 3. Overtaking on the right: In China, vehicles are left-hand drive and drive on the right side of the road. This results in poorer visibility on the right side compared to the left. Drivers often focus more on the left rearview mirror, and the blind spots on the right side are larger. If a vehicle overtakes from the right, it may go unnoticed by the driver, and due to the close proximity at high speeds, emergencies can easily lead to accidents.

Differences between Dunlop VE302 and VE303

1. Comfort: The VE303 features a new tread pattern design, which provides a higher outer ground contact area ratio, enhancing stability and delivering excellent directional performance. The VE303 utilizes nylon belts with varying rigidity strengths, creating a hybrid belt that balances softness and high rigidity, effectively suppressing noise caused by driving vibrations. The VE302 incorporates improved cords that are thicker and more flexible, offering 1.3 times the strength of standard cords. This ensures smooth and stable driving even on rough roads, delivering a comfortable ride. 2. Performance: A notable feature of the VE303 is the 55% reduction in the volume of lateral grooves, which are a primary cause of tread noise. This significantly lowers tread noise, improving comfort and quietness. The VE302 is equipped with high-strength side belts on both sides of the tire. These belts help reduce road noise by wrapping around the steel belt edges, where vibrations are most intense, effectively dampening vibrations even on rough surfaces.
