What grade of gasoline should the Lavida XR use?
2 Answers
It is completely fine to use 92-octane gasoline for the Lavida XR. Introduction to Gasoline: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled and cracked from petroleum, used as fuel. Precautions for Gasoline Use: Gasoline is somewhat toxic; never siphon gasoline by mouth and avoid inhaling gasoline fumes. Pay attention to quality changes in gasoline during long-term storage, especially to prevent aging. In high-temperature summer conditions, vapor lock may occur while driving; enhance engine cooling and ventilation, and if necessary, take measures such as heat insulation or water dripping to cool the fuel pump and fuel inlet pipe.
I've been driving my Lavida for several years and always use 92-octane gasoline, as clearly recommended in the owner's manual. The moderate octane rating of 92 suits its naturally aspirated engine well, preventing knocking issues while saving money—compared to 95-octane, I easily save dozens of yuan per refuel. Don't fall for gas station upsells pushing higher-octane fuel; it's just wasteful. Regular use of 92-octane actually benefits engine longevity by reducing carbon deposit risks. Developing the habit of consulting the manual is crucial—I always review it during maintenance checks. This car is inherently fuel-efficient, and with gentle acceleration plus highway cruising, I keep monthly fuel expenses comfortably within budget.
