Most vehicles require gasoline to run. There are several doubts regarding what type of gasoline should be used, whether it is extra, ecopaís (extra with Anhydrous Ethanol) or super.
To determine the type of gasoline that should be used, it is necessary to determine the compression ratio of the automobile engine, this means that the volume ratio within each of the engine cylinders and its ability to compress the mixture must be known.
According to the Sura portal, some engines have a compression ratio between 7:1 to 9.5:1. These engines can use low-octane gasoline, that is, eco-country gasoline. On the other hand, engines that have a compression ratio greater than 9.5:1 must use super gasoline.
Ecocountry gasoline it differs from the extra and super because today it contains 5% of components that are extracted from agriculture. That is where the term ‘eco’ is put before, since it does not totally depend on the exploitation of fossil fuels (oil, coal and natural gas) which are finite non-renewable resources, emphasizes Gustavo Heinert, president of the Association of Alcohol Producers of Ecuador (Apalé).
The difference between super gasoline and ecopaís is in the octane, which is the ability of gasoline to be compressed before combusting.
To know the type of gasoline that your car needs you have to consult the vehicle owner’s manual, where all the engine specifications are inscribed.
If the manual says to use super, in case of putting another type of gasoline, the engine can be damaged due to the rattle or double flame frontwhich means that the gasoline begins to explode before the spark plug sends the spark.
“If your car uses eco-country gasoline and you put super in it, the calorific value of this gasoline is used more, because ignition occurs under ideal conditions of pressure and temperature. Therefore, fuel efficiency can be higher with a higher octane gasoline and better mileage performance will be obtained, “explain the experts on the Sura portal. (I)
