What grade of gasoline should the Binyue use?

[DelGenesis]

The recommended gasoline grade for the Binyue is 92 (formerly 93). Below is a detailed introduction to the Binyue: 1. The "Bin" series is a new lineup created by the Geely brand to cater to young consumers. The Binyue draws much of its design inspiration from the dynamic postures of young people, based on the "Time Racing Aesthetics" design concept. The Geely Binyue is built on the BMA modular architecture and is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine. 2. The Geely Binyue PHEV, as the plug-in hybrid version of the Binyue, is positioned as a compact SUV with a sporty style. Its design largely follows the exterior styling of the fuel version. The Binyue PHEV adopts the "Time Racing Aesthetics" design concept, featuring a two-tone body, with a charging port added above the left front wheel arch and a "PHEV" badge at the rear. Additionally, the new model is equipped with numerous intelligent features such as the ICC Intelligent Navigation System, APA Full Automatic Parking System, AEB-P Pedestrian Recognition and Protection Function, LKA Lane Keeping Assist, and SLIF Traffic Speed Limit Sign Recognition.

I've driven several car models before and have done quite a bit of research on gasoline octane ratings. The Bin Yue model uses Geely's three-cylinder turbocharged engine, and the official manual clearly states to use 92 octane or higher unleaded gasoline. Actually, the octane rating indicates the gasoline's anti-knock performance. With the Bin Yue engine's compression ratio of 10.5:1, 92 octane gasoline is perfectly adequate. Some people think using 95 octane can improve performance, but my actual tests showed almost no difference in 0-100 km/h acceleration and fuel consumption. Long-term use would just be a waste of money. The fuel cap has the recommended octane rating marked inside, so remember to check it before each refuel. Most importantly, never mistakenly fill a turbocharged car with diesel. Mixing different octane ratings doesn't cause major issues, but it's best to consistently use 92 octane - it saves money and hassle.

Last week, I accompanied my friend to pick up a Bin Yue, and the salesperson said to directly use 92-octane gasoline. The engine tuning of this small SUV leans towards fuel economy, and using higher-octane fuel would be a waste. When refueling, pay attention to the label on the fuel pump; the 92-octane label is usually red. In fact, the gasoline octane rating only reflects the difference in octane value and does not affect cleanliness. Before a long trip, make sure to fill up with 92-octane fuel and avoid mixing with other octane ratings to prevent triggering fault codes. New drivers should remember that the fuel cap is on the right side of the car, so don't park on the wrong side.

After studying the engine specifications of the Bin Yue, the 1.5T BHE15 model recommends 92-octane gasoline. In areas where ethanol gasoline is prevalent, using E92 is also acceptable, but it is advisable to stick to the same type of gasoline. The fuel tank has a capacity of 45 liters, and filling it up when the low-fuel light is on costs approximately 360 yuan. Actual tests show that 92-octane gasoline consumes 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving. Using 95-octane saves less than 0.5 liters but costs 10% more. In cold regions, avoid heavy throttle immediately after starting; allow the 92-octane gasoline to fully atomize before accelerating.

My colleague's Bin Yue has run 50,000 kilometers in three years and still runs smoothly by consistently using 92-octane gasoline. It's recommended to develop a habit: record the mileage and amount spent each time you refuel, as 92-octane saves about 30 yuan per tank compared to 95-octane. Avoid refueling right after a new oil tanker has unloaded, as there are more impurities at that time. Occasionally mistakingly using 95-octane is fine, but don't listen to gas station promotions about fuel additives. Turbocharged cars are most afraid of mistakenly adding diesel, so always double-check at the gas station before inserting the nozzle. During regular maintenance, ask the mechanic to check the spark plugs' combustion condition; with 92-octane gasoline, normal carbon deposits should be light brown.
