But what if I only call it gasoline? Does that count? Cause diesel could be petrol cause it's from petroleum
I don't know any one who runs diesel who says gas. Fuel yes, diesel of course but gas? Never heard it before
And I use wings more often than fender/corner panel but rarely boot or bonnet. And tires are often boots, but wheels are never rims unless I'm mocking you for giant wheels and rubber bands. And propulsion is either motor or engine depending on mood or expression, never say blown an engine but blown motor or motor let go yup.
