The Alto uses 92 octane gasoline. Fuel gauge: The fuel gauge is a tool used to determine the fuel level status of a car. Depending on the model, fuel gauges are generally categorized into analog (pointer-type) and digital displays. The fuel gauge primarily measures the fuel level via a float in the fuel tank, which then alters the current passing through the gauge via a variable resistor at the float's end to indicate the fuel level. Definition of gasoline octane ratings: 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane, with the remainder being n-heptane. Similarly, 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane. These two types of gasoline are not inherently better or worse; they are simply suited for engines with different compression ratios.

I've been driving my Alto for almost two years now. I remember the manual recommended unleaded gasoline, specifically 92 octane, and I've always used that without any issues. The Alto is a compact car with a relatively low engine compression ratio, so 92 octane is sufficient - no need to upgrade to 95 octane unless you want to waste money. Using the wrong fuel, like low-quality gasoline, might cause engine knocking or increased fuel consumption. A friend of mine once had to spend unnecessary money at the repair shop after using the wrong fuel. I always choose reputable gas stations to ensure clean fuel and avoid impurities. In short, following the manual's recommendation of 92 octane gasoline is the safest and most worry-free approach. If you're unsure, you can check the label on the fuel tank cap or consult professionals at the 4S store.

I've been driving for over a decade, including an Alto, and experience tells me that 92-octane gasoline is the most suitable. The Alto's engine is designed for lower-octane fuel, and 92-octane fully meets its needs while being significantly cheaper, saving money in the long run. When refueling, I recommend choosing gas stations with a good reputation, as clean fuel quality can prevent carbon buildup or engine issues. Occasionally using 95-octane won't cause major harm, but it's not worth it due to higher costs with little benefit. Safety-wise, using the correct fuel reduces the risk of sudden failures, such as dangerous stalling on highways. During maintenance, remember to check the fuel system; regularly changing the filter can extend the car's lifespan. Simply put, 92-octane is an economical and efficient choice.

I think the Alto is fine with 92-octane unleaded gasoline. The engine has a low compression ratio, and using higher octane fuel might actually be detrimental. The fuel should be clean to avoid corroding components. Using the wrong fuel could damage the spark plugs or fuel delivery system, affecting performance and safety. It's important to regularly check the manual to confirm specifications.

How long is the battery warranty for Wuling Hongguang MINIEV?

Wuling Hongguang MINIEV offers a battery warranty of 8 years or 120,000 kilometers. To extend the battery's service life, pay attention to the following aspects: Avoid overcharging: Prolonged charging significantly impacts the battery and can easily reduce its lifespan. It's best to stop charging as soon as the battery is full. Avoid charging in high-temperature environments: Battery charging generates heat, so try to keep the charging process away from high-temperature areas, such as direct sunlight in summer. Maintain steady driving speed: Driving at a constant speed puts less stress on the battery during discharge, which helps extend its service life. Irregular or frequent high-intensity discharges in a short period place greater demands on the battery and are not conducive to its healthy use.
