People call diesel "diesel", not gas/gasoline.

But in the context of filling up a tank, or talking about a filling station, or referring to the state of the tank, yes, people will say "I need to go to the gas station" or "I have a quarter tank of gas". But if referring to the actual substance the vehicle runs on, anyone with a diesel car will say "diesel". It's just the relative lack of diesel consumer vehicles in the US that has led to "gas station" and "gas tanks" and "tank of gas" being used in normal conversation, even in reference to diesel vehicles.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/21/stanfords-stanley-enters-darpa-grand-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/21/stanfords-stanley-enters-darpa-grand-challenge/#8

seriously though, i think the DARPA challenge is a great thing. Lay the foundation now, cuz I'm getting sick of having to actually drive my car. Heck, even give me the freeways under the cars control, i'll drive the surface roads.

I'm taking bets on how long that'll be though...]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/21/stanfords-stanley-enters-darpa-grand-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/21/stanfords-stanley-enters-darpa-grand-challenge/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/21/stanfords-stanley-enters-darpa-grand-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/21/stanfords-stanley-enters-darpa-grand-challenge/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/21/stanfords-stanley-enters-darpa-grand-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/21/stanfords-stanley-enters-darpa-grand-challenge/
