What type of gasoline should the Besturn B50 use?
1 Answers
FAW Besturn B50 is a compact B-segment sedan equipped with 1.6L and 2.0L engines. Based on its configuration, the Besturn B50 is more suitable for using 95-octane gasoline. Differences in gasoline grades: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable liquid mixture distilled and cracked from petroleum. It is classified into grades such as 90, 92, 95, and 98 based on octane ratings. The higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number, the better the anti-knock performance, and the more varied its applications. Engine compression ratio: The appropriate gasoline grade should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio. Small-displacement naturally aspirated engines with lower compression ratios are suitable for 92-octane gasoline, while larger-displacement engines above 1.6L or turbocharged (T) engines, which have higher compression ratios, are more suitable for 95-octane or higher gasoline. Since the Besturn B50 has a compression ratio greater than 10, using 95-octane gasoline would be more suitable.
