You could use vegetable oil to run your car IF it is a diesel. It is not necessarily greener than diesel fuel due to the energy used to produce and transport the vegetable oil.
Vegetable oil will solidify at low temps, lower than diesel. There are anti-gel products for diesel in really cold weather. Not sure if they would work for veg. oil.
don't try it

In general, yes. But they've put big taxes on diesel. I have also converted an #2 oil furnace to reliably burn the motor oil from our van fleet
It depends how much petrol was put in. If it was a "full tank" draining the tank and the system would be advisable. If it was just a small amount, the mixture can be cut by adding more diesel with some motor oil mixed into it It is a common practice in times of diesel shortages to use motor oil with a small amount of gasoline added to it in place of diesel. You will have to use your own judgment as to how much diesel and/or oil to add.
Rotella is designed specifically for Diesels, you can find it at any Walmart with an Auto Center. I would not put just any 15 W 40 in a diesel there are special additives in diesel oil that are not present in regular motor oil.

You mean "motor oil for diesel engines," rather than "diesel oil the fuel." And the answer is simple: No. It will not. All the popular and not-so-popular brands of diesel engine oil sold in the US carry two ratings: a "diesel engine rating" and a "gasoline engine rating." They do this because most trucking companies also own some gasoline engine vehicles, like pickup trucks for driving to the truck dealership on parts runs, and an oil rated for both gas and diesel engines allows them to put the same oil in all their vehicles.
no
If you mean "in" the engine, as in "instead of motor oil," the answer's no. I guess you could probably put it on the engine, if you can explain why you'd want to.
