What are the octane ratings of 92 and 95 gasoline?
1 Answers
92 gasoline has an octane rating of 92, and 95 gasoline has an octane rating of 95. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture obtained from petroleum through distillation or cracking and pyrolysis, primarily used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It mainly consists of organic compounds derived from crude oil distillation and various additives. The octane rating of gasoline measures the anti-knock properties of a specific gasoline mixture (which can cause knocking and reduce the efficiency of reciprocating engines). Based on different octane ratings, gasoline can be produced in several grades. Other chemicals are often added to gasoline to improve chemical stability and other performance characteristics, control corrosiveness, and maintain the cleanliness of the fuel system.
