Why does diesel cost 15p per liter more than unleaded petrol?

I think the oil companies are having us consumers over a barrel. Since the duty on fuel (Unleaded and Diesel) are the same, the difference is made up through the Oil companies and retailers. The media is saying that it's to do with supply and demand, well I think that is bull. Becuase there has be a shift from petrol to diesel cars the oil companies can see that us consumers will be visiting the petrol forecourts less often because a diesel car delivers more MPG than a petrol car. So in order to make up for the loss they hike up the diesel prices to make up the potential loss. Diesel is cheaper to refine that unleaded too.

Why cant you use diesel in a petrol car?

Diesel fuel is designed for diesel engines, which have a different combustion process than petrol engines. Using diesel fuel in a petrol car can damage the engine components, as diesel fuel may not burn efficiently in a petrol engine, leading to poor performance and potential engine damage. Additionally, modern petrol cars are equipped with fuel systems designed specifically for petrol fuel, not diesel.

Why is petrol not used in diesel engines or diesel in petrol engines?

Because the engines will not run with the wrong fuel to to their design. Although both diesel and petrol engines are internal combustion engines, they have differences that enable them to use these different fuels. A petrol engine ignites the fuel/air mixture by using a spark plug. A diesel engine in contrast has no spark but compresses air during the compression cycle. When air is compressed it heats up. Diesel is then injected into the cylinder and it ignites.
