What type of fuel does the Ghibli use?
2 Answers
Ghibli uses 95 or 98 octane fuel. Vehicle fuel standards: Some vehicles can use 92 octane gasoline, while others can use 95 octane gasoline. The type of gasoline suitable for your vehicle is recorded in the owner's manual. Mixing fuel: It's important to note that different octane ratings of gasoline should not be mixed. Occasional mixing won't cause significant damage to the vehicle, but frequent mixing can have serious consequences, especially for the engine, which may require major repairs. Important notes: Vehicles designed for 95 octane gasoline should not use 92 octane or lower. However, vehicles designed for 92 octane can use 95 octane gasoline.
I've been driving a Ghibli and always use 95-octane unleaded gasoline, as its engine requires high-octane fuel to maintain stable performance. Using 92-octane fuel can easily cause knocking, resulting in loud engine noise and sluggish acceleration, which may damage components over time. I prefer refueling at branded gas stations to ensure fuel purity and avoid small stations in remote areas. On long highway trips, 95-octane fuel offers better fuel efficiency, averaging around 10 liters per 100 km, while also reducing emissions. I've occasionally tried 98-octane fuel, which indeed delivers more power, but it's more expensive, so I usually stick with 95-octane for cost-effectiveness. Remember to regularly inspect the fuel system—this ensures smooth and worry-free driving while extending the car's lifespan.
