What Are the Effects of Poor Quality Gasoline?
2 Answers
The effects of poor quality gasoline include: 1. Difficulty starting, or even failure to start; 2. Engine shaking at idle after starting; 3. Obvious vehicle vibration; 4. Unpleasant exhaust odor; 5. Valve noise; 6. Weak acceleration and high fuel consumption; 7. Gear shift impact. Methods to test gasoline quality are: 1. Observe the color of the gasoline; 2. Smell the gasoline; 3. Judge by touch. Gasoline has a high octane rating, which is categorized by octane level into: 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, 98. The higher the number, the stronger the gasoline's anti-knock performance.
If the quality of the gasoline you use for your car is too poor, my own experience tells me that it can be really troublesome. The engine becomes particularly weak, sluggish during acceleration, and the car feels like it's gasping for breath. Fuel consumption also skyrockets, and you might end up spending an extra liter or two of gas for every 100 kilometers, which means money flying out of your pocket. Sometimes, the car might even shake for no reason or emit black smoke, and after inspection, it turns out to be carbon buildup clogging the fuel injectors. Over time, this can lead to increased wear on engine components, shortening the car's lifespan. I recommend always using high-quality gasoline and avoiding cheap, small gas stations. Spend a little extra time finding a reputable brand to fill up—it saves you the hassle and expense of frequent repairs. This directly affects your daily driving comfort, and no one wants to drive a car that feels like an old ox pulling a cart—both uncomfortable and dangerous. In short, poor-quality gasoline isn't just a minor issue; it can significantly degrade your car's performance and make driving a nerve-wracking experience.
