I think every house on that street has electric gates.

There are long tedious tables of pass values:

Diesels will wipe the floor with petrol cars for fuel efficiency - the only downside is that the engine noise is noticeably higher and the initial cost is higher too but if you do a high mileage the fuel saving even with the UK's ludicrous high price for diesel is still worth it.
almost every car does high mileage, 100-200k.

You can push them both as hard as you like - so long as you don't inject the fuel until you want it to burn.
This is common in diesel engines, and rare in petrol ones. _That's_ the difference - not the type of fuel.

The type of fuel determines the difference from its octane/cetane rating. The difference is how to best make use of this fuel.
Really? Fuel in a petrol engine doesn't burn until the spark occurs. Unless something is very wrong.
That's because conventional petrol engines have to limit compression ratio to avoid pre-ignition. Bit of a circular conversation this.
I am sure I once watched a old film version where they were killed by sea water.
Yep

s'why you should always put salt on your veg
(And from 1962 so not so much of the "old": please consider "vintage" or "matured")
Point noted.
is "well aged" acceptable?
Reciprocating, surely? unless you want to bring gas turbines in...

Or Wankel engines.

excellent, thanks. But then I am of the age when one hopes for that - but fears "corked" ;)
Not really. Think about it some more.
Not really.

Trust you to miss the point. We were talking about the limit's of each fuel's capability, not common engine practice.
