I've always felt that gasoline was rather an unlikely choice of petroleum fuels for Fourth Guards Tank Army. Diesel makes much more sense--so much so that I've always believed the "gasoline" reference in Escape from Kalisz to be a misnomer or a catch-all term intended to refer to the kind of widespread liquid fossil fuels used in automobiles (including trucks and military vehicles) before the war. Gasoline is harder to make, more flammable, and has other drawbacks besides. I've been using the term to avoid being sidetracked into a discussion on petroleum refining, etc. I should have known you'd pay attention to the details, Kato.
