What Octane Gasoline Should the Golf 8 Use?

[LeJake]

The Golf 8 equipped with a naturally aspirated engine can use 92-octane gasoline, while the Golf 8 with a turbocharged engine must use 95-octane gasoline. Precautions for refueling: Avoid overfilling the tank: If the tank is filled too full, the high temperatures in summer combined with the heat generated by the car itself can cause the gasoline to expand. To prevent the fuel tank from being damaged by the expanding gasoline, there is a vent hole. If the tank is overfilled, gasoline may overflow through the vent hole, which can lead to spontaneous combustion if exposed to an open flame, with potentially disastrous consequences. Additionally, gasoline overflowing through the vent hole can drip onto the car body, causing corrosion. Fuel additives: Gas station attendants often recommend adding fuel additives when refueling. However, fuel additives cannot fundamentally solve the problem of engine carbon buildup, so it is best to avoid using them. Beware of static electricity: During winter, the dry climate can easily generate static electricity. Therefore, it is essential to guard against static electricity when refueling in winter to prevent serious consequences.
