If the gas station's negligence leads to wrong fuel refueling, the gas station should theoretically be responsible for compensating for the losses caused to the vehicle. The losses include the costs of cleaning and replacing vehicle components, as well as operational losses incurred by the vehicle owner. After calculating the relevant losses, a compensation claim can be made to the gas station. Below are the relevant details: 1. Negotiation: If it is the first time that the wrong fuel grade has been added and the vehicle has not been driven after refueling, the issue is not significant. You can negotiate with the gas station and choose to have the fuel pumped out at a repair shop, clean the fuel tank, and then refuel. 2. Impact of wrong fuel refueling: If there was previously some 95-grade fuel left in the tank and 92-grade fuel was mistakenly added, this situation is equivalent to mixing two different grades of fuel. Mixing different grades of gasoline in the short term will not cause significant harm to the vehicle, but long-term mixing of different grades of gasoline will affect the lifespan of the vehicle's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs.

What are the common issues with the Corolla Hybrid's braking system?

Delayed braking response. Below is a detailed introduction to the Corolla Hybrid: Fuel consumption: On highways, both high and low configurations perform similarly, but in urban areas, the high-end models are noticeably more fuel-consuming, approaching 8L per kilometer, significantly higher than other models' 6.8L. Maintaining good driving habits can effectively reduce fuel consumption. Power: Treating the accelerator pedal gently, the Corolla Hybrid can maintain pure electric driving at speeds up to 55km/h, where the cabin noise mainly comes from the chassis. To address this, Toyota engineers had to add more soundproofing materials to prevent road noise from becoming prominent. A deeper press on the accelerator pedal will activate the engine. With the combined effort of the motor and engine, the vehicle performs well at low torque, with more direct response. However, at medium to high speeds, the assistance the motor can provide is very limited.

What brand of tires does Mercedes-Benz use as original equipment?

Mercedes-Benz's original tires are mainly Dunlop brand tires. The following is a detailed introduction to Dunlop brand tires: Function: Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. Transmit traction and braking torque, ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and passability. Together with the car suspension, it mitigates the impact received during driving and attenuates the resulting vibrations. Additional Information: Maintain a safe distance when driving at high speeds, avoid unnecessary or frequent braking to reduce damage to the tires. For your own safety, pay attention to the tread depth of the tires. Tires that are nearly worn out have reduced friction with the road surface and longer braking distances, so avoid high-speed driving.
