What type of gasoline does the Buick Excelle use?
2 Answers
The Buick Excelle uses 92-octane gasoline, which has lower anti-knock properties compared to 95 and 97-octane gasoline. Taking the 2021 Buick Excelle as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1486mm in height, a wheelbase of 2640mm, a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters, and a curb weight of 1285kg. The 2021 Buick Excelle is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163PS, a maximum power of 120kW, and a maximum torque of 230Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving my Buick Excelle for several years, and since it was new, I've only used 92-octane gasoline. The manual clearly states that 92-octane unleaded gasoline is recommended, and the engine matches it perfectly, with no carbon buildup or malfunctions. Some people think that using 95-octane might give better performance, but I've tried it, and there's no difference in fuel consumption—it just wastes money. Remember to go to reputable gas stations where the fuel quality is pure, as poor-quality fuel can cause sensor issues. During regular maintenance, have the mechanic check the fuel system condition to keep the car running smoothly and worry-free. If you occasionally use a different octane during long trips, it's not a big deal, but stick to 92-octane for the long term.
