What are the effects of using 92 gasoline on the T-ROC?

The impact of using 92 gasoline on the T-ROC's engine includes reduced power and fuel efficiency. If the T-ROC's engine runs on 92 gasoline, it may lead to decreased performance and increased fuel consumption. This occurs because 92 gasoline can cause engine knocking—an abnormal combustion phenomenon that affects both power and fuel economy. Severe knocking can even damage the engine. If the gasoline lacks sufficient stability, the air-fuel mixture may ignite prematurely during the compression stroke due to increased pressure and temperature in the combustion chamber, resulting in knocking. In extreme cases, knocking can cause piston cracking or connecting rod deformation. The T-ROC's body dimensions are 4318 mm in length, 1819 mm in width, and 1582 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680 mm.
If the T-Roc uses 92 octane gasoline, I feel the driving experience would be much worse. Once, a friend accidentally filled it with the wrong fuel, and the engine made a 'knocking' sound during acceleration, feeling like the power was cut in half, especially struggling uphill. Later, it was found that fuel consumption also increased slightly—normally 7 liters per 100 km, it might go up to 7.5 liters or more. In the short term, it may save a bit on fuel costs, but driving like this long-term can easily cause carbon buildup in the engine and potential piston damage, with repair costs being shockingly high. The vehicle manual states that using 95 octane is the safest, as its higher octane rating prevents knocking and protects the engine. So, I always advise people not to cut corners for small savings—safe driving comes first. After switching back to 95 octane, the car runs much smoother, and the noise is reduced.
