What type of gasoline should a Volkswagen Polo use?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Polo is recommended to use gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or higher. The principles for selecting gasoline octane ratings and the differences between 92 and 95 octane gasoline are as follows: Principles for selecting gasoline octane ratings: The engine's compression ratio is the sole criterion for choosing the gasoline octane rating. Generally, engines with a compression ratio of 10:1 or higher should use 95 octane or higher gasoline. Owners can refer to the manual or the label near the fuel tank cap to select the appropriate gasoline. Differences between 92 and 95 octane gasoline: The difference between 92 and 95 octane gasoline is not about quality but the content of added isooctane, which affects the gasoline's anti-knock properties. 95 octane gasoline has a higher isooctane content, making it slightly more expensive and providing better anti-knock performance.
