What type of fuel should the Wuling Hongguang use, 92 or 95?
2 Answers
92 octane. The Wuling Hongguang can be fueled with 92-octane gasoline to meet its operational requirements. The minimum octane rating suitable for the vehicle is usually marked near the fuel tank. Simply follow the indicated rating or the specifications in the maintenance manual to add the corresponding fuel type. For vehicles that require 95-octane gasoline, such as those with turbocharged engines, using 92-octane fuel may cause knocking. Below is some relevant information about the Wuling Hongguang Mini: 1. Exterior: The Hongguang Mini is a micro, 3-door, 4-seat hatchback equipped with a single-speed transmission for electric vehicles. It measures 2920mm in length, 1493mm in width, and 1621mm in height, with a wheelbase of 1940mm and a top speed of 100 km/h. 2. Powertrain: The Hongguang Mini has a total motor power of 20 kW and a total motor torque of 85 Nm, featuring a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with tire specifications of 145/70R12.
I've been driving my Wuling Hongguang for many years and always use 92-octane gasoline. The car manual clearly states that 92-octane is sufficient, with no need to upgrade to 95-octane. 95-octane is more expensive, costing dozens more per tank, and sticking with 92-octane saves a significant amount over time. The engine's compression ratio isn't high, around 9:1, so 92-octane matches well without causing knocking issues. While 95-octane may be cleaner, it doesn't improve performance—just a waste of money. I've also noticed that choosing reliable gas stations for 92-octane is safer than opting for cheaper 95-octane from questionable sources. Making a habit of using 92-octane and maintaining the engine regularly keeps the car running smoothly and hassle-free. It's both cost-effective and practical—what more could you ask for?
