Petrol in a deisel car

If you are telling us the veg oil and petrol both have lower levels of 'lubricity' than diesel, how can mixing the two create a 'product' that has 'lubricity' values greater than both of the ingredients?

One might suppose that adding veg oil to petrol will increase the viscosity of the resultant brew, or maybe not as the petrol may attack the bonds in the veg oil and break it down.

Even so I doubt that viscosity is related to 'lubricity' to closely.

ULS diesel needs added lubricants [1], and one ideal substance is biodiesel. Since biodiesel can be made from WVO, I was thinking veg oil might also have the required lubricity. As you say though, the petrol may break it down.

Petrol also goes "BANG" a lot easier than diesel...

Not in a compression ignition engine. The ease of getting the bang here is indicated by the cetane rating and bears no resemblance to the octane rating.
