As a Buick Envision owner, I've found that this model officially recommends using 92-octane unleaded gasoline, primarily because it matches the engine's compression ratio, ensuring stable performance while preventing knocking and excessive fuel consumption. Occasionally using 95-octane gasoline isn't a major issue, but long-term use may increase costs without noticeable performance improvements. I recall one instance when using lower-grade 90-octane fuel caused obvious acceleration jerking; subsequent inspection revealed mild carbon buildup. I promptly switched back to 92-octane, and the engine ran smoothly again. When refueling, I make it a habit to check fuel quality, ensuring I visit reputable gas stations to avoid adulterated fuel. By the way, there's a fuel specification label inside the fuel filler cap – it's good practice to check it regularly. In summary, sticking with 92-octane fuel is both economical and beneficial for engine longevity, and during routine maintenance, I always ask technicians to pay extra attention to fuel system cleaning.
