“Daily Share 5.6”: Can 92# gasoline and 95# gasoline be mixed together?

Thread Content

What is the difference between gasoline grade 95 and grade 92? In fact, the octane rating of gasoline has little to do with the quality of the gasoline itself. The octane rating indicates the fuel’s resistance to detonation; the higher the rating, the better the resistance to detonation. What determines this resistance is the amount of octane present in the gasoline, and the octane rating essentially refers to this value, with little relation to the amount of impurities in the gasoline. Can gasoline grade 95 and grade 92 be mixed? Occasional emergency use allows mixing, but it should not be done on a long-term basis. However, long-term mixing is likely to increase the frequency of detonation, thereby exacerbating wear on the engine. What to do after mixing? Occasional mixing requires no special treatment; simply fill up with gasoline as usual at the next time you refuel.
