What happens if you put 98 gasoline in a car designed for 95?
1 Answers
If the vehicle is designed to use 95-octane gasoline, there is no issue with using 98-octane fuel, although it may slightly reduce acceleration performance. However, using 92-octane gasoline can have negative effects, and long-term use of 92-octane fuel is not recommended as it increases the frequency of engine knocking and accelerates engine wear. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture derived from petroleum through distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis, and is used as fuel. It appears as a transparent, flammable liquid and is classified by octane ratings such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98. Key properties of gasoline include volatility, stability, anti-knock quality, corrosiveness, and cleanliness.
