What are the differences between 95 and 98 gasoline?

A few years ago diesel cars were the favorite option of the Spanish, since it was thought that they were better than gasoline. Now, gasoline has managed to surpass diesel as the most demanded fuel, due to the growing demonization of diesel, which is based on two aspects: its uselessness in large cities and its price.

If you are one of those who drive gasoline, surely you have ever wondered how 95 gasoline and 98 gasoline are different, or which of the two is better for your vehicle. Well, then we solve all your doubts about this type of fuel.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 95 AND 98 GASOLINE

Since super leaded gasoline was banned in 2001 and super 97 gasoline disappeared in 2008, gas stations only offer two alternatives for drivers of cars powered by gasoline engines: 95 gasoline or 98 gasoline.

The big difference between the two has to do with the octane number or octane number, that is, the resistance to detonation of the fuel when it is compressed inside the cylinder of an engine. Therefore, the higher the octane number, the greater the engine's compression capacity.

It should be noted that the advantage of this higher engine compression is that the energy power of gasoline is used much more and, therefore, better performance is obtained. For this reason, 98 octane gasoline is usually used in high-performance sports cars, while 95 octane gasoline is designed for other vehicles.

Another difference is that 98-octane gasoline has less sulfur than 95-octane gasoline, which allows to extend the life of the catalyst, reduce consumption and improve vehicle performance.

WHICH IS MORE EXPENSIVE?

A higher octane number implies that the price also increases, so the price of 98 gasoline is higher than that of 95 gasoline. For example, in Madrid a liter of 98 gasoline costs 0.138 cents more than that of 95 gasoline, while in Barcelona there is a difference between the two of 0.11 cents. These data mean that filling a 50-liter tank can cost you between 6.9 and 5.5 euros more if you choose 98 gasoline, both 95 and 98 gasoline cars are available at Auto For Trade where you can buy used cars in Japan Online

CAN ANY GASOLINE CAR USE 95 OR 98 GASOLINE?

It is true that a gasoline car can use 95 or 98 octane gasoline, although care must be taken, since each type of fuel is designed for specific engines , so an indistinct use of these could have negative consequences for the engine of the vehicle and, therefore, for our pocket.

·         Putting 98 gasoline in an engine designed to run on 95 gasoline: you will not notice any difference in the vehicle's performance, you will only pay more to fill the tank.

·         Putting 95 gasoline in an engine designed to run on 98 gasoline: you will notice a reduction in the performance of the car and an increase in consumption.

What is the best car insurance for a new driver? If you just got your driver's license or have less than a year of driving experience, you are on the new driver's list. Starting to drive is not an easy task, so it is important that you have good insurance that covers any damage after suffering a hit or a traffic accident. However, although the driving license offers you unquestionable independence and much more freedom, the downside of being a new driver is the price of car insurance, since it is usually much more expensive than that of experienced drivers. According to the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), in general, the majority of new drivers tend to be  young people under 25 years of age . Although it is clear that not everyone makes the same mistakes at the wheel,  the greater accident rate suffered by the group of young drivers  on the road is one of the causes that cause the increase in the price of insurance. According to data from the DGT, d...
