If you want a diesel, buy a diesel. The amount of BTUs in the gasoline has  
no relationship to it's octane rating. Diesel fuel is specifically designed to  
burn without a spark. It will influence you gasoline engine to do the same, 
burn  early or even explode it's fuel, instead of burning. That is called 
pre-ignition  or pinging. If you want to con your friends into thinking you have a 
diesel -  and like to pay $5 a gallon, go ahead. <grin> Under any load, your 
engine  may begin to sound like one!  - Seth  Emerson
