Fuel Memes

The German approach to fuel naming is peak scientific precision! While Americans casually call it "gas" (despite being a liquid) and Brits say "petrol" (at least acknowledging petroleum), German chemists cut straight to the molecular structure—benzene ring FTW! That C₆H₆ aromatic hydrocarbon structure isn't just elegant chemistry—it's linguistic efficiency. Nothing says "I understand organic chemistry" like referring to your fuel by its actual molecular structure instead of some vague colloquialism. German precision strikes again!

Fractional distillation of petroleum: the world's most dangerous buffet menu. "Yes, I'll have the petrol at 70°, sounds refreshing." Meanwhile, only psychopaths would order the asphalt at the bottom. The petroleum industry's version of "the floor is lava" gets more literal the further down you go. Just remember - if your dinner requires a fractioning column to prepare, perhaps reconsider your dietary choices.
