Lavida's factory-recommended fuel grade is 92 octane. It is advisable to follow the manufacturer's requirements. Generally, 92 octane gasoline is suitable for gasoline-powered vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9, while 95 octane gasoline is suitable for those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5. Key energy-saving indicator: The primary criterion for selecting gasoline grade is the engine's compression ratio, which is also the core energy-saving indicator in modern vehicles. Impact of compression ratio: The higher the compression ratio of an engine, the smaller the volume of combustible mixture is compressed, resulting in greater power and lower fuel consumption. Engines with higher compression ratios require gasoline with higher anti-knock properties, meaning a higher octane rating.

What is the function of installing a spoiler?

The functions of installing a spoiler are: 1. To generate greater downforce for the car, effectively reducing air resistance during high-speed driving and saving fuel; 2. To counteract part of the lift, control the car's tendency to rise, reduce the impact of wind resistance, and allow the car to adhere closely to the road, improving driving stability. The spoiler is located on the trunk lid and is part of the car's aerodynamic kit. It is structurally divided into single-layer and double-layer types, made of materials such as aluminum alloy and carbon fiber. Additionally, spoilers can be manually adjusted or hydraulically auto-adjusted, with the latter featuring hydraulic pillars that automatically adjust the angle based on the car's speed.
