Should the Volkswagen Lavida use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida uses 92 octane gasoline. Methods to check the suitable gasoline grade: Refer to the car's user manual, which records the recommended gasoline grade for the vehicle. The fuel cap will also indicate the fuel grade, recommending the optimal gasoline grade to use. Impact of using 95 octane gasoline in the Volkswagen Lavida: 95 octane gasoline has a higher isooctane content, which means the heptane content is reduced. Heptane affects the combustion speed, so 95 octane gasoline burns slower than 92 octane gasoline. If 95 octane gasoline is used in the Volkswagen Lavida, it may lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in insufficient power and even increased carbon deposits. As for fuel efficiency, since the combustion speed is slower, it may feel more fuel-efficient.
