What Octane Gasoline Should the Golf 1.2T Use?
1 Answers
The Golf 1.2T model is equipped with an engine that requires a minimum fuel octane rating of 95, so this vehicle can only use 95-octane or higher gasoline. Gasoline is a colorless to pale yellow, easily flowing liquid at room temperature, difficult to dissolve in water, flammable, with a distillation range of 30°C to 205°C. It becomes explosive when the air contains 74 to 123 grams per cubic meter and encounters fire. Below is an introduction to gasoline octane ratings: The gasoline octane rating represents the gasoline's octane number. For example, 95-octane gasoline contains about 95% isooctane and approximately 5% n-heptane. Since isooctane has better anti-knock properties and n-heptane has poorer anti-knock properties, a higher octane rating indicates a higher octane number, meaning the gasoline has better anti-knock performance.
