Not sure I understand the question, or whether there is a question.
However, if what you're asking is what have I filled a diesel car with: then the answer is just plain ol' diesel unfortunately, maybe I should try some kerosene or something.

I put 1/3 tank super unleaded filled to the brim with diesel in my old work's Navara at 2am one day; shit it all the way back from Southampton to home but it definitely drove and pulled better and 8 years later, it's still going strong.

Can't imagine diesel and petrol will mix.
I thought you were clever Balling, must just be one of these Google geniuses.
I always thought petrol mixed in with diesel is quite common in countries where it's constantly below freezing and the person can't be arsed fitting a heater to their tank so the petrol acts like spirit.
Also people who used to run on veg oil would sometimes stick a couple of.litres of unleaded in to thin things down.

Well I'm glad my lacking knowledge of fuels cleared that up for you. 
Though I'd assume that a "Google genius" would NOT have been open about not knowing something, but then I'm not the clever one so you're probably right.
