What grade of gasoline does the Volkswagen T-Roc use?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen T-Roc uses 95-octane gasoline. The vehicle's manual specifies the recommended fuel grade for the engine, and there is also a fuel grade label on the inside of the fuel tank cap. The gasoline octane rating refers to the octane number, which indicates its anti-knock properties. The higher the octane number, the better the anti-knock performance of the gasoline. The required gasoline grade for a car is determined by the engine's compression ratio. A higher compression ratio requires gasoline with better anti-knock properties. In terms of dimensions, the Volkswagen T-Roc measures 4318mm in length, 1819mm in width, and 1582mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. The overseas version of the Volkswagen T-Roc is positioned as a compact SUV, but after being introduced to the domestic market, the FAW-Volkswagen T-Roc underwent a wheelbase extension, elevating it to the entry-level compact SUV segment.
I've been driving my Volkswagen T-Roc for almost two years now. At first, I was torn about which fuel to use, but after checking the manual and consulting the 4S dealership, I learned that 95-octane gasoline is the most recommended. The engine is designed with a high compression ratio for efficiency, and using 92-octane fuel can cause the engine to shake and make noise, not to mention the noticeable increase in fuel consumption. I remember one time when the gas station ran out of 95-octane, so I tried 92-octane instead. Halfway through the drive, the car started roaring like an old ox panting, and acceleration became sluggish. Luckily, the engine wasn't damaged. Since then, I've stuck to 95-octane fuel—the car responds quicker, runs quieter, and maintains stable fuel consumption. During regular maintenance, I always check the fuel quality labels to avoid mixing in substandard fuel. In short, sticking with 95-octane is both worry-free and reliable, whether for long road trips or daily city commutes.
