Key Fuel Types & Characteristics
- Gasoline (Petrol): Most common fuel, derived from crude oil, optimized for spark-ignited engines.
- Diesel: Used in compression-ignited engines, often for larger vehicles, known for better fuel efficiency but higher maintenance and emissions.
- Octane Ratings (91, 95, 98): 91 is standard, 95/98 are premium (higher resistance to premature detonation/knocking).
- Alternatives: CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
