Very often, car owners wonder what kind of gasoline to fill in Granta: 92 or 95. Sometimes, even before buying a domestic car, a motorist asks the question what brand of gasoline to fill in his future car.
In fact, it is very difficult to understand which gasoline is suitable for which car brand. Most often, drivers cannot choose between AI-92 and AI-95. It is absolutely normal that everyone is trying to save money, and even more so on gasoline, on which you have to spend a large percentage of your salary every month.
Based on this, most motorists choose AI-92. If you compare the price per liter of AI-92 and AI-95, the difference will seem insignificant, but if you multiply the price per liter by the number of liters of gasoline that is consumed during the month, the difference is significant.
If you visit a car service center and ask a question about what gasoline is suitable for the Lada Granta, you will receive the answer that the car must be refueled according to the recommendations of the company that produces this brand of car.
How does the car manual answer this question?
So, to answer the question of whether it is possible to fill Granta with 92 gasoline, which worries many motorists, you should open the instructions on Appendix 1, which states that the recommended gasoline is “Premium 95” or “Premium Euro 5”. Why do the instructions contain such strict restrictions regarding gasoline?
Let's figure it out. The first note states that the required flammability at low temperatures must be ensured.
It follows from this that fuel must be selected of a certain volatility class. In different regions of the Russian Federation, this requirement is adhered to differently, and fuel volatility classes differ from each other based on location.
The second obstacle to the use of low-octane gasoline is various metal and organic particles, which are anti-knock agents and are contained in gasoline. The presence of lead, cadmium, manganese, iron and other metals can be observed in the particles.
Various additive materials are introduced into high-octane gasoline to prevent the formation of soot, various deposits and corrosion. But these substances can only be included in gasoline by its manufacturer. Every motorist can do this, but experts do not recommend doing this, since substances can be introduced in the wrong proportion.
Real fuel consumption figures
Some cars are produced with 8 valves in engines. There are versions with 84 hp. and 87 hp The manufacturer promises that these cars will “eat” 10.5-10.6 liters on city streets and 6.5-6.9 liters on the highway. In reality, the values differ greatly.
For 84 hp engines. and 87 hp have approximately the same consumption in real conditions. The values are as follows:
- When driving in the city, in traffic jams and difficult traffic conditions - 12.4-13.8 l;
- If you often have to drive on the highway, between cities – 8.2-8.9 liters;
- When driving in the combined cycle - 10.1-10.9 liters.
Power plants 102 hp, 105 hp and 106 hp consume more gasoline than less powerful versions. However, the numbers are quite adequate, which contribute to fuel savings. In real conditions, the indicators are:
- Driving on city roads – 12.6-13.9 l;
- Driving on highways – 8.6-9.4 l;
- Driving both on the road and on the highway – 10.5-11.6 liters.
It must be borne in mind that consumption figures fluctuate greatly, depending on environmental conditions. In winter and at low temperatures, the specified gasoline consumption standards increase.
Those cars that are equipped with engines of 102 hp, 105 hp. and 106 hp have a basic design with 16 valves. This had a good effect on the power and dynamics of the car. Unfortunately, a negative trend towards increased gasoline consumption has emerged. For all these three engine variations, the numbers are approximately the same - we list them:
- Operating the car in the city, on a busy road – 12.5-13.6 l;
- Driving between populated areas on the highway – 8.9-9.7 l;
- Mixed operating cycle – 10.3-10.9 l.
What do drivers think about this?
If you read the reviews of the Lada Granta owners themselves, you may encounter some contradictions. Some argue that AI-92 gasoline is perfect for Lada, except that detonation appears in the combustion chamber.
Other drivers argue that only AI-95 is suitable for the Lada Granta, and even note that it is this gasoline that helps save on fuel consumption.
This octane number of gasoline has a positive effect on the fuel consumption of a car. If the average speed of a car is from 90 to 100 km/h, using 95 gasoline, about 5.5 liters of gasoline are consumed.
There is a third group of car owners who fill the tank with gasoline of both brands, which is why the results are not very good. Drivers mix two types of gasoline in order to reduce detonation and average gasoline consumption, but experts still do not recommend mixing different types of gasoline.
Car owners who buy AI-92 do not see a significant difference in the car's dynamics, engine performance and gasoline consumption. If you replace the fuel recommended in the instructions for use with AI-92, then the only difference will be the effect on the fuel system.
A few words about American and turbocharged engines
I was also bombarded with the following questions: “I bought a car imported from the USA, it says that you need to use AKI 91 gasoline. What is this, and what kind of fuel should I choose?”
The US market has slightly different standards; their classification is not like ours (that is, “research”). The abbreviation AKI means a conditional, average designation of two indices ((“research” + “motor”)/2).
If we bring it closer to our standards, we get something like this:
AKI87 = AI92
AKI89-91 = AI95
AKI93 = AI98
I would also like to note the turbocharged options; in the last article I said that it is recommended to use at least “95” in them.
Let's think logically, why 95 and 98? Turbocharged engines use much larger volumes of air and fuel, the mixture in them must be richer, and from the points above we understood what ENRICHED fuel is, it gives us more octane. Think for yourself - WHY BUY A TURBO, AND FURTHER FEED IT WITH LEAN MICHES, it’s just not designed for that! The amount of air must strictly correspond to the caloric content of the fuel.
It is also worth noting that when using the “92”, as many manufacturers indicate, the “required temperature regime” may be violated, which may lead to the failure of some components, in particular the “turbine” itself.
Therefore, in TURBO, only what the doctor ordered, otherwise it is fraught with repairs.
Now there is a video version of the article, VERY USEFUL.
I’ll end here, I think it was useful, sincerely YOUR AUTOBLOGGER.

Is it possible to fill Grant 92 with gasoline?
Other car enthusiasts claim that they see no difference between using AI-92 and AI-95, and the engine in both cases will work almost the same. But everyone knows that using 92-octane gasoline leads to contamination of the engine system and spark plugs.
But, without taking this fact into account, many Russian motorists advise filling the Lada Granta with AI-92. Let's figure out whether the Lada Granta 92 can be filled with gasoline.
Many oil refineries located in Russia do not have the technologies and equipment that can produce high-quality 95-A gasoline.
Therefore, to create 95-grade gasoline, specialized additives are used that gasoline contains. The more such additives are contained in gasoline, the more negative the impact of the use of such gasoline on the operation of the engine and the entire vehicle system.
Well-made pure 92-A gasoline is much more suitable for any car, including the Lada Granta. There are still several factories in the Russian Federation that produce high-quality gasoline up to 98.
Most motorists advise you to familiarize yourself with information about gas stations that are in your city in order to understand what type of gasoline to buy. You should find out where these gas stations purchase fuel, as well as who produces this gasoline and what quality it is.
If you read this information in advance, you will be able to avoid problems that may arise with the engine due to the use of low quality fuel.
So, gasoline 92-A has the following features:
• leads to contamination of the engine system and spark plugs;
• has low cost;
• does not negatively affect the dynamics of the car;
• does not affect engine operation.
Features of the national gas station
But, this is all theory. The fact is that in our country the fuel situation is not as rosy as one might expect. Often, the required octane number in the fuel sold is achieved by using special chemicals called “additives” (as in the video above). Thus, a chemical analysis will show that this number corresponds to the brand, while the car may not want to work fully with this gasoline. In this case, you will have to drain all the gasoline from the tank and clean it.
And most domestic oil refineries do not have equipment that could process oil into gasoline grades higher than A-92. It is for this reason that “there is a popular opinion” that there is basically no difference between brands with an octane number greater than 92.
But the cost of gasoline will vary significantly. In addition, the savings on the “correct” fuel are not so high in terms of its consumption, which does not cover additional material costs. The exception is the exclusively urban driving cycle, where trips are made mainly in low gears and, often, at high speeds of the power unit.
However, this is the opinion of people, but not of automobile experts. And improper operation is rarely associated with one’s own carelessness. Instead, complaints begin to arise about the build quality of the machine itself.
Results
As you can see for yourself, the question of choosing fuel for the Lada Grant has more questions than answers, and only you can decide how to refuel your car. However, we recommend that you follow only the manufacturer’s requirements, which are written in the instructions, and refuel only at trusted gas stations and trusted fuel suppliers.

if the passport indicates 95, then pour 95.92, you can only pour unleaded, the additives used in our country kill the catalyst, even if you pour unleaded 92, then the difference in price will be eaten up by increased consumption compared to 95, the only alternative (so far known) is e92 + alcohol 96% in a ratio of 10/1.
who wants to kill the injectors, pour acetone into gasoline
Now I know, my thanks to everyone for participating
A little acetone was added to the fifth gasoline, and this became a pulsar. Buy a half-liter bottle of acetone and add 300 grams to a full tank and you’ll get “pulsar”, “ecto” and other crap.
When the 12th was made, they did this with 92. For 20 liters, 0.5 acetone.
do you have a grant carburetor?
I also heard a lot about the cleaning properties of the pulsar, but I decided to test them for myself. A year ago I bought a car with a mileage of 82 thousand, it stood at the former owner’s house for half a year under the entrance, and in the end, half of it ended. I changed the parts, so this is what I mean: after the purchase, he (the former owner) said that it only ran 95, although the 1.5 engine was designed for 92. The engine was not killed, it did not consume oil, but it completely refused to go more than 100. I live in the Moscow region and go to work via Minka, so I started refueling at TNK 95 Pulsar. I drove it like this until almost spring and the engine began to come to life. But here’s what’s also noteworthy: I started turning the engine for at least 3.5 thousand. In the summer, when I removed the fuel rail with injectors to clean the carbon deposits, the carbon deposits were minimal (the mileage by that time was 125 thousand). So, for prevention, you need not only to fill in “cleaning” fuel, but also to let the engine spin (at 4 thousand, the valve plates and the valves themselves rotate, carbon deposits are cleaned off, and wear becomes uniform). And I saw this concentrate (which makes a “pulsar” out of 95 95) in a friend’s garage, I even suggested pouring it into the tank
Rosneft recently began producing a new fuel - Pulsar gasoline. But car enthusiasts do not know how this innovation differs from others. Gasoline Pulsar - what is it? Let's figure it out together. There are few differences between it and other fuels. This is a common advertisement for drivers to pay more money, but there is no particular impact on driving performance. Other gas stations do similar tricks; reviews of Pulsar gasoline can be found on the Internet, and most of them are not very good.
Differences
But first, let's talk in a nutshell about the differences between these two most popular brands offered at gas stations. After all, many drivers, especially beginners, think that the 95 is of higher quality compared to the 92 and cannot harm the engine. But the opposite is true.
Higher gasolines are produced on the basis of 92nd
, by adding to it all sorts of additives that can increase the octane number. Therefore, 92 is cleaner than its counterparts, it turns out (although, according to experts, in the Russian expanses, especially in the outback, it is difficult to find fuel that is not created with the help of additives, even 92). But the same experts claim that due to the low octane, 92 and there are few additives, and it itself is cleaner.
By the way, adding these chemicals and bringing raw materials to rank 95 costs gas stations less than purchasing the same material from oil refineries. That's why so many people are doing body blows. Such a homemade 95 can be extremely dangerous for the engine, since the buyer does not know for certain what has been added to it!

Is AI-98 necessary?
Commercial gasoline AI-98 is a fuel obtained by adding to the base of all gasolines - high-octane gasoline, reforming a significant amount of high-quality octane-increasing additives (16%), promoting complete and more uniform combustion of the fuel. The use of high-quality AI-98 in Lada Vesta will not cause any harm to the engine of any Lada model; rather, on the contrary, it will ensure smooth operation of the power unit, an increase in power of 5-10% and even a slight increase in efficiency.
