OTish: Diesel in the tank., Tuesday puzzler. Options

[mbseto]

So a local grocery with gas pumps accidentally put diesel in one of the regular pumps. The news said it was about an hour before they figured out the error and several people had filled up. I'm guessing the error was discovered due to disabled cars stacking up outside the filling area.

How far would you get with diesel in a regular engine??

In Holland we have a different size nozzle for diesel and for normal gasoline at the gasstation.
That way the diesel cars cannot tank the normal fuel to prevent a lot of problems, but the other way around is possible. It happens a lot and (sorry ladies) mostly by women.
According to the stats it happens to about 80-100 people a day and to about 25.000 persons in our country every year (on a population of total 17 million, around 10 million people have a drivers license )

In case it happens that you tanked wrong, it depends on the car and age how far you get. My neighbour had this last month and she came to a stop within 1 mile.
