- red-iron-pine 3y agoI'm in Alberta, aka North Montana. Can confirm Diesel is big here, tho there is arguably a practical need. There is some anecdotal story about how Chevy had a batch of diesel Colorado trucks and they sold out couple hours hour they made them available online.
- windowshopping 3y agodo people in the west really say petrol? east coaster here and never heard that outside of britain
- kylehotchkiss 3y ago“gas” is ambiguous, especially when there are CNG vehicles on the road.
- elliotec 3y agoNo, never.
- ethanbond 3y agoI grew up in Arizona around plenty of macho truck people and never heard “petrol.” I suspect an expat.
- msmith 3y agoI'm going to guess dboreham is Canadian?
- filoleg 3y agoI don’t think so. Been living in Seattle for almost 8 years, spent a lot of time in CA and Oregon as well. The only time I ever heard word “petrol” was in british media.
