Will using 92-octane gasoline affect an Audi?
1 Answers
Audi vehicles that have been filled with 92-octane gasoline may experience negative effects, as most Audi models require a minimum of 95-octane gasoline. Using 92-octane gasoline can lead to engine knocking. Engine knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon within the engine, typically caused by poor gasoline stability and excessively high combustion chamber temperatures. Different grades of gasoline have varying octane ratings, with higher-grade gasoline having higher octane ratings. Gasoline with higher octane ratings also tends to be more stable. Precautions for refueling a car: While driving, always monitor the fuel gauge. When the indicator shows only a quarter of the fuel remaining, it's time to refuel. Do not wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling. Modern cars use electric fuel pumps that rely on gasoline for lubrication and cooling. Frequently waiting until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling can prevent the fuel pump from receiving adequate lubrication and cooling, ultimately reducing its lifespan.
