  2. Octane Rating: Petrol typically has a higher octane rating compared to diesel fuel. Octane rating indicates the fuel's resistance to knocking or pre-ignition in spark-ignition engines. Higher octane ratings are required for petrol engines with higher compression ratios or turbocharging, whereas diesel engines rely on compression ignition and do not use spark plugs.
