petrol

Gasoline. Used in the UK and most of it's former colonies, sans the USA and Canada.
Oddly petrol is NOT short for petroleum.

Brit: Looks like we need petrol. We'd better stop at a station and fill up.
American: Looks like we need gas. We'd better stop at a station and fill up.

kangaroo petrol

Special fuel that causes manual transmission vehicles to travel in short spurts, stopping and starting intermittently. Coincidentally, the true power of kangaroo petrol can only be unlocked by drivers with little experience driving manual transmission vehicles.

Louie - Gee Walters, looks like there's too much kangaroo petrol in that there gas tank for you to handle.

Officer Walters - Then we'll tow it. Either way, we're repossessing all your stuff.

Louie - I swear; she told me she was 18.

Stanislav Petrov

A Soviet officer which stopped doomsday from being a real thing on the 26th of September, 1983, trusting his instincts when a computer detected a American nuclear missile being launched towards the USSR. He refused to retaliate, thus avoiding the possible end of humanity.

You see this guy there, Stanislav Petrov ? Yeah, that guy fucking saved the world.
