To sell a budget car, manufacturers are ready to do almost anything. Including distortion of real data on fuel consumption, brand of gasoline, and actual service mileage. Naturally, the cheaper the car is to operate, the longer the queue will line up for it. Take, for example, the issue of fuel prices. After all, there is a difference which gasoline is better to fill in the Hyundai Solaris - the cheapest 92nd, or 98th extra. In general, it does not affect the speed. What then does it affect? Let's figure it out right now.
What is the fuel consumption of Solaris 1.6 on the automatic?
Fuel consumption Hyundai Solaris 2022, sedan, 2nd generation
| Modification | consumption , l/100 km | Fuel used |
| 1.6 l, 123 hp, gasoline, manual transmission, front-wheel drive | 6,0 | Gasoline AI-92 |
| 1.4 l, 100 hp, gasoline, automatic transmission, front-wheel drive | 6,4 | Gasoline AI-92 |
| 1.6 l, 123 hp, gasoline, automatic transmission, front-wheel drive | 6,6 | Gasoline AI-92 |
Ecological fuel class
Hyundai Solaris which gasoline will depend on the content of substances in it that are harmful to the environment. Gasoline also contains impurities, which can be used to determine the environmental class of the fuel. Even in the European Union, a unique and first-of-its-kind EURO classification was developed (in 1990). According to this classification, standard indicators for the content of sulfur, hydrocarbons, nitrogen, and other substances of a harmful nature in fuel have been established. It is surprising that the requirements for this classification are constantly being tightened, and after this the content of harmful substances is decreasing and decreasing.

What happens if you fill with gasoline with a higher octane number?
Switching to higher octane
They are not prohibited by the operating instructions, but no matter how much racing

What does the engine compression ratio say?
Compression ratio.
The dependence of the octane number of gasoline on the compression ratio is known to everyone - the higher the compression ratio, the higher the octane number should be.
If you pour low-octane gasoline into a forced engine, it will simply detonate and explode uncontrollably, only from pressure, and not from a spark.
Engine 1.4 liter Gamma series.
Engine 1.6 liter Gamma series.
In Hyundai Solaris with 1.4 and 1.6 liter Gamma engines, the compression ratio is 10.5 units . This is a fairly large value, so the use of 92-octane gasoline may lead to the formation of soot and detonation.
The following aspects need to be taken into account:
- Solaris will not show violent joy, expressing it through an increase in power and traction immediately after refueling with 95 gasoline. The fact is that the electronic control unit must adapt to the new conditions of combustion of the mixture in the combustion chamber. This will take some time. This is why many people don’t see the difference between 92 and 95, but the engine does.
- If 95 gasoline is diluted with diesel fuel or other rubbish, then fuel consumption can increase significantly, the same applies to 92 gasoline. Naturally, there will be a drop in power and a deterioration in acceleration dynamics.
- There is an opinion that no matter what kind of gasoline is poured into the Hyundai Solaris, they are all produced from the 92nd: either the 95th or the 98th. Of course, all gasoline is made from ugly black oil, but the octane rating is achieved solely by additives. And it’s the octane number that interests us.
- They also say that when using high-octane gasoline, burnout of the valves or piston crown is possible. Yes, it is possible, but only on very ancient engines with a carburetor. Hyundai Solaris did not receive the most modern engines, but they also have control electronics that can adjust the ignition timing and avoid burnout. True, this is subject to the installation of optimal thermal clearances of the valves.

I fill up with regular 92 on BP. I experimented with 95m and didn’t notice any effect. 1.6 automatic transmission.
I fill up at Lukoil and use 92. I tried 95 a couple of times, there is not much difference, the savings, if there are any, are small, but the price is much higher. The dynamics of the car have not changed, even it seemed to me that the 92 was faster.
Agree. 95 Placebo effect.
Lew 95 BP and Gazpromneft update: Automatic 1.4
Accepted, unfortunately we don’t have BP, but Gazprom, something is somehow scary, we have experience of refueling them in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, only there was a different car there, but the impressions were not very good ((
Have you heard anything bad about BP?
It seems not, but we don’t have BP gas stations in our city((
Yes, I understand, I was just wondering)
Automatic, 1.6. Lil 92nd, the catalyst died at 70200)))) Then I poured 95th for the sake of experiment. Consumption has decreased a little, but I decided that it’s not worth it and continue to pour 92nd. Oil main.
I understand you) Thank you) How did you understand that the cat was dead? The dynamics disappeared and the check light was on?
No))) The car farted and looked like a Nexia taxi without a silencer. Well, there was no acceleration and a strange sound. I have everything about the kata in my blog))) www.drive2.ru/l/8837186/
Lew 95 ect Lukoil, the second one goes worse. 98 is even better than 5, but expensive)
With 98 it is better not to overdo it - the pistons and valves will burn out ahead of time, our engine is clearly not a million-dollar engine, and is not designed for ultra-high temperatures. =)
Why should something burn out at 98?
If you use gasoline with a higher octane number (higher than what is provided for in the engine design, and we have stated 92 and 95), then the gasoline will burn “more diligently,” giving off more heat. Consequently, engine parts will overheat, especially the valve group. In addition, oil consumption will increase (there will be waste), and the entire engine may even overheat. In this case, the engine will work for wear. But the most important thing is that a normally adjusted simple engine will have no benefit from constantly burning gasoline with a high octane number, rather harm. And if, when you fill up with gasoline with a higher octane number, you feel that it pulls better, then you should adjust the engine, and it will pull even better on regular gasoline, and detonation will disappear in almost all modes. Let me summarize. It makes sense to fill in 98 fuel only for the purpose of one-time prevention of soot. Constantly driving on 98 fuel is not only wasteful, but also fraught with negative consequences for an unboosted simple (non-sports) engine.
From the instruction manual:
FUEL REQUIREMENTS Gasoline vehicles Unleaded petrol In Europe For optimum vehicle performance, it is recommended to use unleaded petrol with RON 95/AKI 91 or higher. Unleaded gasoline with a recommended RON of 91 to 94/AKI of 87 to 90 can be used, but this may result in a slight reduction in vehicle performance.
Lew 95 ect Lukoil, the second one goes worse. 98 is even better than 5, but expensive)
I only pour 92 from Lukoil, at the gas station where we have their storage facilities) It seems normal, but somehow it doesn’t really work, so I’m thinking of trying to fill it with 95.
Hello. If you don’t want to have problems with the catalyst in three years, lei 95. For the price, that’s what it turns out to be, in the dynamics of a car with 1.6 it will noticeably increase, the consumption will be lower.
Mechanical 1.4 always poured 92, consumption in the city was 10.5, I decided to try filling it with 95. The consumption was 10.3, the dynamics did not increase. Result: I will pour 92
Sulfur content in gasoline combustion products according to EURO specifications
At the moment, the Solaris fuel pump is slightly capricious in terms of eco-class fuel. The highest marking now is EURO-6, adopted by the European Union on September 1, 2015. In the case of Russia, everything is different, since EURO-5 is in demand in our homeland, although the only fuel company decided to use EURO-6 only this year.
Hyundai Solaris fuel consumption depends on the equipment of the internal combustion engine, which complies with the EURO-4 standard, and new modifications from 2016 must comply with the generally accepted Russian standard. The fuel consumption of the Hyundai Solaris can be checked with the dealer, or refer to the user manual. To be frank, gasoline of different eco-standards will not in any way affect the dynamic characteristics, operation or service life of the car.
What kind of gasoline should I fill Hyundai Solaris with? In this matter, only the quality of the fuel plays a big role, which Russia cannot particularly boast of. Therefore, advice for owners of the Korean automobile industry is as follows:
Dear people, refuel only at branded gas stations and avoid any dubious refueling places that you either have not seen before or are presented in a single sample.

We pick up 95 rpm faster, switched to 92 to save money
Sergey, one hell of a saver) IMHO
Sergey, there is no saving!
Dmitry, do you mean that 10 liters of 95 will give the same amount of energy as 92?)
Max, 95 pulls better
1.6at, 95 and 92 difference is 0, after buying the car I drove 92 for 2 months, then a month on 95 and now for the 4th month I drive 92 per month with mileage of 6+ thousand. Lei 92 and don’t worry)
When I change the oil I'll check it at 95) is it better to pull or not?
Seryozha, it’s strange, but at the gas station they write that 92 is cheaper than 95, are they deceiving?
Sergey, hahahahahaa
Well, if you look at the price tags, then everything is true :)))) About the octane number, etc. Did you hear something or something? :)))
Max, it all depends on your pocket, the 92 is not much economical in terms of budget, there is no saving in terms of consumption, not on the 92, not on the 95. The 95 does not drive much better, this is clearly noticeable on old oil.
On the highway it always showed 6 liters, sometimes a little more and this is 95 Gazprom at a speed of 90 to 120 km/h, and then the other day I went on a long drive and let me think I’ll try 95G, the consumption dropped significantly to 5.1 at a speed of 100-110, in the city at 92 shows 8-9, on 95 7-8
Seryozha, I heard it in childhood))) and I still believe that 95 is more than 92...even if only by a little bit
Sergey, well, I don’t know how these economy gurus travel there and how often, but I really see the difference. At 92 I come to the gas station more often than at 95. At 95 the car drives faster. Due to the fact that the octane number is higher at 95, the car eats less. And I know that now our skeptics will say that this is all nonsense and there is no difference. These people probably use their car once a week, so they don’t notice how often they come to the gas station. But driving around the city for 20-30 minutes and believing the testimony of the on-board vehicle is stupid.
Vova, so it will be.
At 95, consumption dropped by 2-3 liters. Now I use 95 and the car runs smoother.
the myth about this has long been destroyed, in order to feel the difference in grip, the increase in power must be at least 10%, and gasoline cannot give that much, so pour 92, there is zero difference and the cost is cheaper
Seryoga, then why is it that at 92 my uncle’s Toyota valves rattle and the traction is poor, but at 95 it’s quiet and drives well? So 95 is better than 92
Vova, God knows what is rattling there) fix the car) I don’t have anything rattling at 92 or 95, maybe you have a placebo effect?
Seryoga,
92 lei, we just have Solaris)) 95 at some gas stations is more polluted than 92
