What is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for 92 and 95 gasoline?
1 Answers
When driving a car for 160 kilometers at a constant speed of 120 km/h without sudden acceleration or braking, approximately 15 liters of 92-octane gasoline are required. 92-octane gasoline is composed of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. The primary difference lies in the purity of isooctane—the higher the purity, the stronger the gasoline's anti-knock properties, and consequently, the higher the price. Gasoline is a mixture. Although 92-octane and 95-octane gasoline have similar chemical compositions, their additives differ. Mixing these two types of gasoline can actually burden the engine. If you consistently use mixed gasoline over a long period without caution, it may lead to engine knocking, shorten the lifespan of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs, and increase exhaust pollution. When choosing between 92-octane and 95-octane gasoline, please follow the car's user manual or refer to the label on the back of the fuel tank cap for guidance.
