Many people may think that the oil in Beijing’s gas stations seems to be more durable when burning. This is not an illusion. There is indeed some tricks in it. The oil we refill in most places outside is really not the same thing as the oil we use in Beijing.
What we usually add is usually called ethanol gasoline, which is not 100% pure gasoline. To put it simply, this oil is made by mixing regular gasoline with almost 10% biofuel ethanol. If you look carefully at the number on the fuel nozzle, if it has an E, like E92 or E95, it means it is ethanol gasoline.
This kind of oil has a disadvantage, that is, the energy it can release when burned is much less than that of pure gasoline, only about 60% of that of pure gasoline. This directly leads to the fact that if our car is filled with this kind of oil, it will feel less energetic when driving, and

This directly leads to the fact that if our car is filled with this kind of oil, it will feel less energetic when driving, and it will consume more fuel.
Think about it, for the same distance, a car filled with ethanol gasoline may burn 3% to 8% more fuel, and the mileage will be shorter, maybe about 10% less. In other words, a tank of fuel could originally run 500 kilometers, but now it may only be able to run 450 kilometers. In the long run, this fuel bill will cost a lot more.
The fuel in Beijing is a bit special. They use Beijing standard gasoline. To put it bluntly, it is pure gasoline that is 100% refined from petroleum. There are some special additives added to this oil, but there is no ethanol mixed with it. Look at the oil gun, its markings are only numbers, like No. 92, No. 95, etc., without the E.
When this kind of pure gasoline is burned, the power is really incredible. The car will feel more powerful when driving, and the acceleration will be much more stable. Moreover, it is particularly resistant to burning, has lower fuel consumption than ethanol gasoline, and has a longer mileage. Some car owners have reported that by adding pure gasoline, they can save about three liters of oil per 100 kilometers. This difference is not small.
Especially in winter, some places in the north are very cold. The ethanol in ethanol gasoline has strong water absorption and easily combines with water vapor, which may cause some problems. For example, some ethanol will be discharged from the exhaust pipe, or it will affect the engine. Pure gasoline is much more stable in this regard.
When comparing these two types of oil, pure gasoline is obviously much better than ethanol gasoline in terms of power, fuel consumption, and mileage. No wonder people think that the oil in Beijing burns differently. It turns out that this is the secret.
