What grade of gasoline should the Borui GE use?
2 Answers
The Borui GE should use 95-grade gasoline. The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. The Borui GE is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with the following dimensions: length 4986mm, width 1861mm, height 1513mm, and a wheelbase of 2870mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. The Borui GE is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 132 kW at 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 265 Nm between 1500 to 4000 rpm. It features front-wheel drive, with a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I've been driving the Borui GE for almost two years now, always filling it with 95-octane gasoline. When I first got the car, I specifically checked the manual, which clearly recommends using 95-octane (RON95). The engine has a high compression ratio, so 95-octane fuel provides better anti-knock performance, making the throttle response particularly smooth. Once when the gas station ran out of 95-octane, I had to fill half a tank with 92-octane, and the engine sound noticeably became muffled, with slight jerking at low speeds. There's actually a label on the back of the fuel cap reminding users that it's not worth saving a few cents by using lower-octane fuel. Long-term use of lower-octane gasoline can lead to increased carbon deposits and higher fuel consumption, which is counterproductive.
