|---|---|---|---|
| 92# gasoline | 7.8 | 8.2/10 | normal |
| No. 95 gasoline | 7.6 | 8.7/10 | Excellent |
| No. 98 gasoline | 7.5 | 9.1/10 | Excellent |
5. Professional advice
1.Economical plan:The 2.0L model strictly uses No. 92 gasoline, which can save about 1,200 yuan in fuel costs by driving 20,000 kilometers per year.
2.Performance optimization plan:It is recommended that 1.6T models use 95# gasoline for a long time to better exert the turbocharging effect.
3.Special case handling:If only high-grade gasoline is available, all models can be temporarily refilled, but long-term mixing must be avoided.
Combining the recent oil price fluctuation trends and vehicle technical characteristics, it is recommended that car owners choose appropriate oil products based on the actual car model to ensure engine health and optimize vehicle costs.
