What Octane Gas Should a Sports Car Use?
1 Answers
Sports cars generally use 95 to 98 octane gasoline, depending on the specific model. Detailed explanation: High-performance supercars typically require 95 octane or higher gasoline because 95 octane gasoline has better anti-knock properties. Using such gasoline prevents engine knocking. Knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine that can lead to reduced power output, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, engine damage. About 95 octane gasoline: This grade is generally suitable for most vehicles. The octane rating represents the gasoline's resistance to knocking—the higher the rating, the better the anti-knock performance. The octane rating has no relation to the cleanliness of the fuel.
