What grade of gasoline does the Fit use?
2 Answers
Honda Fit uses 92 octane gasoline. The manufacturer requires the use of 92 or higher octane fuel for the Fit when it leaves the factory. Below is a related introduction to the 2021 Honda Fit: Dimensions: The body dimensions are: length 4109mm, width 1694mm, height 1537mm, wheelbase 2530mm, and fuel tank capacity 40l. Powertrain and Suspension: The 2021 Fit is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 96kW and a maximum torque of 155Nm. It is paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The front suspension is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
As a long-time Fit owner, I've been told to use 92-octane gasoline since the first generation, which is the most cost-effective choice. The Fit's engine is compactly designed with modest octane requirements, making 92-octane a perfect match. There's no need for higher grades like 95-octane as they don't improve power or fuel economy, just extra cost. I always choose reputable gas stations to ensure fuel quality and avoid engine damage from impurities. Additionally, don't forget regular maintenance like oil changes, crucial for engine performance and fuel efficiency. Using lower-octane fuel by mistake may cause knocking and affect acceleration, so I stick to the manufacturer's recommendation for stable driving and savings.
