What grade of gasoline should the T-Roc use?
2 Answers
The T-Roc should use 95-octane gasoline. The gasoline grade refers to the ratio of the gasoline's anti-knock performance compared to standard gasoline. The T-Roc is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of: length 4318mm, width 1819mm, height 1582mm, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 N·m. The drive system is front-wheel drive, with MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I've been driving the Volkswagen T-Roc for a while now, and it really requires 95-octane gasoline. This is mainly because the turbocharged engine has a high compression ratio, and 95-octane fuel has a higher octane rating and better anti-knock properties, which can prevent engine damage from knocking. Although 92-octane is cheaper, long-term use can lead to increased carbon deposits and may trigger the engine warning light. Last time at the gas station, I saw a T-Roc owner filling up with 92-octane, and the car shook badly when climbing a hill. Later, they had to spend nearly a thousand yuan cleaning the fuel system. 95-octane fuel burns more completely, and in the long run, the fuel consumption per kilometer can actually be lower, which is better for the car. When refueling, remember to check the label on the pump—some self-service dispensers require careful confirmation of the octane rating to avoid mistakes.
