I'm not entirely sure exactly what would happen, but I do know that any engine not running on the fuel it was designed for will not perform at it speak. That's not to say it won't run, as I have seen an old ford truck run on a 50-50 mix of diesel-gasoline, but it ran very roughly. The gasoline woulkdmost likely combust because of the heat caused by the massive amount of compression in a diesel engine. I know this is way off topic, but when you say normal, are there 3 diferent grades like there are here or is there only 95? And if there are more than 1, is 95 the highest octane available? I believe here the grades are usually 87, 90, 93.
