What does via gasoline mean?
2 Answers
via gasoline refers to the fuel product of the first phase of China VI a, which is the first phase fuel product of the National Sixth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standards. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through fractionation, cracking, or pyrolysis, and can be used as fuel. Its appearance is a transparent liquid, mainly composed of aliphatic hydrocarbons, naphthenic hydrocarbons, and a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. China VI refers to the standard formulated to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, to prevent and control the environmental pollution caused by the exhaust of compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, to protect the ecological environment, and to safeguard human health.
The first time I came across ethanol gasoline was at a gas station near my home. The owner recommended it to me, explaining that it's essentially regular gasoline mixed with a bit of ethanol, usually around 10%, called E10 gasoline. At first, I was quite worried about it damaging my car, especially since mine is an older model from 2005. But after using it, I didn't notice any change in performance, except for a slight increase in fuel consumption on the highway—maybe about 5% more. However, the owner mentioned that ethanol gasoline has many benefits. It's less polluting than pure gasoline because ethanol is derived from crops like corn or sugarcane and is renewable. Still, I should remind everyone that if your car is a decade-old classic, it's best not to use it long-term, as ethanol can corrode rubber parts like fuel lines. Nowadays, many new cars have optimized engines to support it. After I switched to a new SUV, using E10 felt more cost-effective, saving me some money on fuel while being eco-friendly. Just remember to check the labels at the gas station to avoid accidentally buying regular gasoline, which could cause issues.
