I was in a petrol station today filling up with petrol this guy on the next pump said he puts in half a tank of petrol and half of diesel, he then said he gets more to the gallon is he nuts or is he right? I did not notice if his car was diesel or petrol, it was a big Citreon.
My uncle once ran out of petrol, 2/3 a mile short of his house and uphill on a stormy night. He upended a bottle of brandy into the tank and the car (a Jag) got home.....not cheap though!

Probably just raised the petrol level enough to reach the outlet.
He had probably made the mistake ,as some do ,of starting to fill the tank with the wrong fuel and suddenly realised so continued to fill up with the correct fuel, as some do, in the hopeit would dilute the wrong fuel. Probably too sheepish,as some are,to admit what he had done. :-)
