SAIC Volkswagen Passat uses 95-octane gasoline, which was originally known as 97-octane gasoline. 95-octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. The fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Passat is 66 liters, while the 2017 Passat has a fuel tank capacity of 69 liters. Here is an introduction to 95-octane fuel: 1. 95-octane gasoline is composed of 95% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. High-octane gasoline should be used when the engine has a high compression ratio. If low-octane gasoline is used with a high compression ratio, it can cause abnormal combustion, leading to knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving power. 2. Before driving, owners should check the fuel gauge and calculate whether refueling is needed during the trip based on the distance and the fuel gauge reading. It is advisable to refuel in advance rather than waiting for the fuel warning light to come on. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and operates at a high temperature when continuously working. Being immersed in fuel helps to cool it effectively. When the fuel warning light comes on, it indicates that the fuel level is below the fuel pump. If you always wait for the light to come on before refueling, it will shorten the fuel pump's lifespan, and having too little fuel in the tank may even burn out the fuel pump.

Should the Mistra use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

The Mistra should use 92 octane gasoline, as this is the recommended fuel grade specified in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the user manual, the fuel cap of the Mistra will also indicate the recommended fuel type. Typically, the fuel grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. For higher compression ratios, 98 octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate fuel grade, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Mistra occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switching back to the correct grade after consumption is sufficient. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower octane fuel, using a higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane number can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher octane fuel, using a lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the fuel's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.

Where is the air intake of the smart engine located?

Mostly on the left side under the front hood. The location of the air intake for car engines varies by model—some are positioned at the front of the engine, while others are at the rear. Typically, there is only one intake, though high-performance sports cars may feature individual intakes for each cylinder, which is relatively rare. Here’s more related information: Introduction to the air intake: 1. The design of air intakes indeed varies, but their function remains the same: to supply fresh air to the engine and provide ventilation and cooling for heat sources such as the air conditioning condenser, radiator, and oil cooler. 2. Whether the intake is designed as a single or dual-layer structure largely depends on aesthetic requirements. Since the front grille (i.e., the air intake) is a focal point of the vehicle’s visual design, its styling often highlights brand characteristics. Examples include BMW’s "kidney grille," Volkswagen and Audi’s "large-mouth" design, and Jeep’s "vertical slats."

What is the origin of Mercedes?

In March 1899, Jellinek drove a Daimler Phoenix car to victory in the French Nice Automobile Race. At that time, he participated in the race under his daughter's name and later suggested that Daimler name its cars after his daughter, Mercedes. Daimler gladly accepted, and since then, Mercedes has been used as a brand trademark, with Mercedes meaning "grace" or "elegance". Here is some related information about Mercedes: 1. Names in different regions: Internationally, the brand is commonly referred to as Mercedes, while in mainland China, it is called "Benz" (hence the term Mercedes-Benz). In Taiwan, it is translated as "Benz", and in Hong Kong, it is called "Ping Chi". 2. Brand introduction: Daimler and Benz merged to form Daimler-Benz Automobile Company. Cars named Mercedes-Benz are considered the perfect representatives of high-quality, high-performance automotive products. In addition to luxury cars, Benz is also one of the world's most famous manufacturers of buses and heavy-duty trucks. Mercedes-Benz is a subsidiary of Daimler AG.

What is the standard tire pressure for 195/65r15 tires?

Generally, the tire pressure should be around 2.5 to 2.7 bar. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Tire pressure: Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and damage to the engine will lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, the tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car. 2. Precautions: Choosing an unreasonable tire pressure will cause power circulation, thereby increasing tire wear and affecting the service life. At the same time, considering the impact on power performance, it is necessary to select the appropriate tire pressure to extend the service life of the tires.

What is the real fuel consumption of the MG ZS automatic transmission?

The MG ZS automatic transmission has 5 models on sale, including the 2020 180DVVT Automatic Lite4, Automatic Plus L2+, Automatic Base, Automatic UP, and Automatic Super Player Edition, all equipped with a 120-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different MG ZS automatic transmission models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 120-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100km have a fuel tank capacity of 45L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 45/6.2*100=726km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
