What does PETROL mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A refined fuel distilled from petroleum, used mainly to power car engines; called gasoline in North American English.
Petrol is the everyday British word for the fuel that Americans usually call gas or gasoline, and both terms refer to the same light, flammable liquid refined from crude oil. Filling stations across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and much of the Commonwealth advertise petrol prices by the litre, while the same product is sold by the gallon in the United States under a different name. The word also names a particular shade of greenish-blue, inspired by the faint sheen petrol produces on wet pavement. As electric vehicles spread, writers increasingly contrast petrol cars with electric ones, a usage that would have made no sense before the twentieth century.
