> Gasoline and diesel are very different from 'petroleum'.

They are refined from petroleum. I wonder if there is a dialect difference here? Also, you really seem intent on proving someone wrong over a relatively inert statement.

Yes, I agree. Jacquesm, I feel like you're being really aggressive over a really minor, and frankly, inconsequential point.

That minor, inconsequential point is the difference between a fire that is easy to put out, one that has burned out before the firetruck gets there and one that you simply can't put out.

The context seems to be lithium vs liquid fuel, with regards to passenger injury and/or road surface.

First responder needs are a third, somewhat separate/somewhat related concern. You seem really intent on "being right" and aggressive about something, literally anything.

I encourage you to line up and then bundle up your thoughts on this matter, and present them here because, externally, you seem to be all over the place. Also, I don't really feel like further engaging with hostility while it's still morning.
