2 Answers
The eighth-generation Accord uses 92-octane gasoline. The dimensions of the eighth-generation Accord are 4945mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2800mm. It is equipped with three engines: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, and a 3.5L V6 naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0L naturally aspirated engine delivers 156 horsepower and a maximum torque of 189 Nm; the 2.4L naturally aspirated engine produces 179 horsepower and a maximum torque of 225 Nm; the 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 engine generates 280 horsepower and a maximum torque of 339 Nm. All engines are equipped with i-VTEC technology and multi-point fuel injection, and feature aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks. The front suspension uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.
I've been driving the eighth-generation Accord for five or six years, and this car can run on 92-octane unleaded gasoline. I've never switched to other grades since I bought it new. With a moderate compression ratio, 92-octane offers the best cost-performance ratio. If you use 95-octane, it's significantly more expensive, and there's not much noticeable difference in acceleration—it's just a waste of money. When using 92-octane, make sure to refuel at reputable gas stations and avoid cheap, low-quality fuel to prevent engine carbon buildup or shaking. In city driving, fuel consumption is quite stable at around 8 liters per 100 km, and it’s more economical on long trips. After long-term use of 92-octane, the engine has proven quite durable—my car has over 100,000 kilometers on it without any issues. Maintenance is also hassle-free, with fewer oil filter changes. Just avoid using anything below 90-octane, as it can damage the engine.
