I just did an experiment on it and the obvious choice was copper. This was simply because of the "Reactivity Series" which lists metals from most reactive to least reactive. Furthermore copper was used for the original cars many years ago, however alloys such as steal prove to be tougher as well as cheaper which is mainly the reason why it is prefered.-glad i could help-

Why was Royd Kennedy a hero?
Trapped under the rear wheels of a burning gasoline tanker, a young girl is screaming for help. The fire is so intense that it's turning the pavement into boiling tar. Royd Kennedy arrives with his fire crew and sees her arm through the flames. He crawls to her and promises her that he will not leave her. His fellow fireman did their best to keep the flames at bay and to work feverishly to raise the wheels enough to pull the young girl out. As the fire increased in ferocity, the two remained under that tanker until finally the fire crew was successful in raising the wheels enough to pull her out after nearly an hour under the truck. Royd Kennedy was, and still is in my book, a hero because not only did he risk his life to save a 12 year old little girl, but he decided to sacrifice his life so she would not die alone. It's one thing to risk your life to help another living being and that makes a hero any day, but to make the decision to give your life just so the other person will not die alone takes heroism to a whole other realm. Fortunately everyone, this had a happy ending thanks to Royd and his fellow firemen.

Why is a petrol tanker sometimes connected to the ground by means of a wire before petrol is uploaded?
Most likely, this is to discharge any static electricity that the tanker may have accrued during its journey. Such static can be dangerous because it may cause the petrol to ignite; therefore, the wire 'grounds' the tanker (i.e. it allows the electricity to pass harmlessly into the ground) and removes this threat.
