Oh, dude, you're asking about fractions of crude oil now? Well, basically, crude oil is made up of different fractions like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. These fractions are separated through a process called fractional distillation. So, like, gasoline is used in cars, diesel in trucks, and jet fuel in planes. It's like a big oil family, each doing its own thing.

The flash point is the temperature at which the fuel ignites on its own, without a spark. Diesel fuel used to only be available along truck routes. Before diesel fuel became easily available everywhere, people with diesel engine cars would use heating fuel, but would have to make sure it is clean, passing it through a filter to remove foreign particles.

For cars? Diesel and gasoline.
No, they make gasoline powered cars too.
