To begin with, the electronic engine control unit (ECU) monitors each cylinder’s contribution to power unit operation based on information from the crankshaft sensor. If one of the cylinders is somehow misbehaving, the correction for fuel will allow you to level out its work.
This adjustment has its own scope and if it goes beyond the norm, the Check Engine icon will be displayed on the dashboard. This happens when the nozzle is completely clogged or, conversely, just pours fuel into the cylinder and the ECU cannot do anything about it.
Using cheap fuel leads to a similar situation, especially if you often fill up at unverified petrol stations. For example, now many car manufacturers allow 92e gasoline to be poured into the tanks of their cars. Here are naive citizens and follow the recommendations.
If the engine is technically complex and loaded, then this is not worth doing. Low-octane fuel, and even dirt, immediately clogs the nozzles with deposits, and trouble begins: an explosion occurs, and this is harmful to the engine.
