Gasoline is a necessary commodity, and the people who refine oil into gasoline and sell it set the price however high they want to. Because demand for fuel is so high, they can set a high price for both petrol and diesel because they know that people will pay for the necessary gasoline for their vehicles.
petrol at one time but diesel is now on a par. Today it is more of a question of how efficiently they are used.
in the 1958 britain's petrol had didn't price than now, because many the people of Britain didnt now about petrol and their use...........
Petrol and diesel prices in the UK certainly have declined in recent weeks. Unleaded was £1.25 per litre, now it's 90 pence per litre. Much of the price is tax, so the decline is not exactly in line wirth crude oil prices.
Acording to www.iol.co.za the current diesel price is 31.0 meticais This article is dated 12/02/2008 22:39:57 Unfortunatly no price of petrol yet The price of diesel and of kerosene both fall by 20 per cent. A litre of diesel now costs 22.45 instead of 28.06 meticais, while kerosene falls in price from 19.47 to 15.58 meticais (at current exchange rates there are 26.8 meticais to the US dollar). Petrol prices fall by five per cent, from 24.32 to 23.1 meticais a litre, while the price of LPG cooking gas remains unchanged at 40.93 meticais per kilo. These prices are for sales to the public in the port cities of Maputo, Matola, Beira and Nacala, where the fuels are unloaded. Elsewhere in the country the fuel distribution companies may include their transport costs when calculating the final price. From www.allafrica.com 19/03/2009
Diesel fuel is often referred to as "diesel oil" or "heavy oil". Do not confuse this with "engine oil for a diesel engine" which means "lubricating oil specially formulated for use in diesel engines". My first Ford Fiesta diesel's tax disc said - "Fuel - Heavy Oil". They've now realised that this term is anachronistic, and my latest tax disc reads "Fuel - Diesel". To be pedantic - Diesel fuel is an oil - Petrol is a spirit.
I have a 52 plate Picasso and my slightly dimmer half put 20 pounds of petrol in my diesel car. There was about 5 - 10 pounds of diesel already in the tank. I simply syphoned the tank with a hose and a bucket. doesnt taste nice i know, then filled it with diesel and a fuel treatment and ive had no problems since. this was a year ago now. Its not usually bad this way round as truck drivers put a small amount of petrol in their tanks to stop them freezing in the winter. its when you put diesel in a petrol engine that you've got a problem.
He was called 'Diesel' and his second one is 'Petrol' but now in JLS, he is known as 'Green Machine' and 'Incredible Hulk'
Try to get it all out if possible.....a small amount should,nt cause a major problem!!!!! The more you get out the less damage will be done to your cat converter if fitted with one!!! Petrol into a diesel engine is much worse... you should be fine as long as you havent drove too far!!!!!! G.....diesel mechanic.
It depends on what your needs are: if you want to get better mileage get a diesel or hybrid petrol car - but they cost more to buy than regular cars that run on unleaded. Diesel usually has more power at low revs but much slower acceleration. Diesel smoke is not pleasant smelling and when diesel gets cold it becomes harder to burn. With new technologies - like variable geometry turbos - now even diesel cars have become more responsive to the throttle with reduced lag. Moreover diesel is cheaper than petrol in many countries. (In the UK diesel actually costs more per gallon than regular unleaded petrol.) If we consider heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses, to move the heavy load diesel is used because they need their energy produced as highest possible torque at low engine revs, not maximum road speed.
what is the price of diesel im Mozambique now
Diesel can give much better fuel economy (miles per gallon or kilometers per liter) than petrol but the downside is that diesel engines cost more to manufacture than petrol engines. So a petrol-engined vehicle usually costs less money to buy than a similar make and model that has a diesel engine. The design of a petrol-burning engine is different from that of a diesel engine: a petrol engine burns petrol (called gasoline in the US) which is ignited by a spark plug. A diesel engine burns diesel fuel which self-ignites when compressed.
It differs from a diesel engine in the method of mixing the fuel and air, and in the fact that it uses spark plugs to initiate the combustion process. In a diesel engine, only air is compressed (and therefore heated), and the fuel is injected into the now very hot air at the end of the compression stroke, and self-ignites. In a petrol engine, the fuel and air are usually pre-mixed before compression (although some modern petrol engines now utilise cylinder-direct petrol injection). The pre-mixing was formerly done in a carburetor, but now (except in the smallest engines) it is done by electronically-controlled fuel injection. Pre-mixing of fuel and air allows a petrol engine to run at a much higher speed than a diesel, but severely limits their compression, and thus efficiency
