The Elysion uses 92-grade gasoline. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled or cracked from petroleum, used as fuel. Different grades represent different anti-knock properties of the fuel, with higher gasoline grades indicating better anti-knock performance. Taking the Honda 2019 Elysion as an example, it is an MPV with dimensions of 4950mm in length, 1842mm in width, and 1711mm in height, a wheelbase of 2900mm, a minimum ground clearance of 134mm, and a curb weight of 1941kg. The 2019 Honda Elysion features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine producing a maximum horsepower of 146PS, a maximum torque of 175Nm, and a maximum power of 107kW, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.

I've been driving this Elysion for several years, always using 92 octane unleaded gasoline as recommended in the Honda manual, which states that low-octane fuel is sufficient—cost-effective and durable. Occasionally, I try 95 octane and feel a slight boost in power, but the difference is minimal; 92 octane is perfectly adequate for daily use. I frequently take long trips, and a full tank can cover four to five hundred kilometers. The 92 octane offers great value, saving me dozens of yuan per tank. Remember to maintain the car on schedule; with high fuel cleanliness, the engine runs smoother with less carbon buildup. For new cars, always check the manual or the fuel cap label—don’t waste money on higher octane unnecessarily. Choosing the right gasoline ensures the car runs trouble-free for years, reliable and worry-free.

I think refueling the Elysion is quite straightforward. 92-octane unleaded gasoline is the most suitable choice—economical and affordable. Honda designed this engine with lower-grade fuel in mind, featuring a modest compression ratio that makes 92-octane sufficient. Of course, in poor road conditions or cold weather, 95-octane is acceptable but not mandatory. My focus is on saving money: 92-octane saves a few cents per liter, adding up to hundreds of yuan over 10,000 kilometers a year. Also, choose reputable gas stations for better fuel quality to avoid engine issues. Using the wrong octane rating may cause knocking and reduce engine lifespan, so don’t take unnecessary risks—safety first. Keeping the car well-maintained matters more than fussing over fuel grades.
