2002-07-07 1.) Can't say for sure on the OZ, which I think by OZ you are referring to the Octane number. I do know that the method of calculating the octane number in the US is different from elsewhere. The US method averages the theorhetical value with the measured value.
2.) All i know about Diesel fuel is it is dirty and in the winter time it gels and the cars won't go. Trucks (lorrys) and other similar vehicles do use Diesel fuel. But, most cars don't. Also, the use of manual shifted transmissions is not as common as automatic. 3.) Do you mean that Diesel fueled cars consume no more fuel then 8 L/100 km? By the way you wrote it, just stating 8 litres, one can interpret it to mean after a car burns 8 litres, it stops running.
