What Type of Gasoline Should a Mustang Use?
1 Answers
Mustang vehicles can use 93-octane gasoline. Below is relevant information about automobile gasoline: 1. Gasoline Octane Rating: The gasoline octane rating represents the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane. A higher octane rating is not necessarily better; the appropriate gasoline octane should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio. 2. Compression Ratio: The primary criterion for selecting gasoline octane is the engine's compression ratio, which is also a core energy-saving indicator in modern automobiles. Engine operation consists of a cyclical process of "intake—compression—combustion—exhaust—intake" in the cylinders. The compression ratio is the ratio of the cylinder volume when the piston is at its farthest point to when it is at its closest point in the stroke.
