1 Answers
The difference between 95-octane gasoline and 92-octane gasoline lies in the ratio of heptane and isooctane: 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% heptane, while 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% heptane. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from the distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum. At room temperature, gasoline appears as a colorless to pale yellow, easily flowing liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water, highly flammable, with a distillation range of 30 to 205 degrees Celsius. It is commonly used as fuel. The key characteristics of gasoline include volatility, stability, anti-knock properties, corrosiveness, and cleanliness.
