What to Do If 95 Octane Is Mixed with 92 Octane?
1 Answers
Occasionally mixing 95 octane gasoline with 92 octane is not a problem. Here are the relevant details: 1. Long-term use of lower octane gasoline in high-octane vehicles can severely affect engine performance, leading to knocking and potentially reducing engine lifespan while increasing maintenance costs. 2. The fundamental difference between 95 octane and 92 octane gasoline lies in their octane ratings, essentially meaning they contain different proportions of anti-knock additives. 95 octane gasoline has a slightly higher proportion of anti-knock additives compared to 92 octane. The quality of both fuels is identical, with no difference in cleanliness or other factors; the only variation is the amount of anti-knock additives, designed to meet the different anti-knock requirements of engines with varying compression ratios.
