Τώρα σοβαρά. Γιατί επικράτησε το "βενζίνη"; Έχω την αίσθηση ότι παλιότερα κυριαρχούσε το "βενζίνα". Ισχύει;
γερμανική επιρροή απο το μπεντζιν , καλυτερο απο το να τη λέγαμε γκαζολίνη-α
1 – Revolution: When Carl Benz invented the car in 1886, he revolutionised mobility. After many experiments, he decided on light petrol as a fuel for his fast-running four-stroke engine which, with almost 1 hp, accelerated the three-wheel Benz Patent-Motorwagen to a respectable 16 km/h.
2 – Courage: In 1888, Carl’s wife Bertha Benz made the first car journey in the history of the world from Mannheim to Pforzheim. This courageous endeavour made her a real pioneer who knew how to undertake such an audacious cross-country drive. Including refuelling. After all, filling stations did not yet exist. Instead, Bertha stopped at the pharmacy in Wiesloch and bought a glass bottle of ligroin, as petrol was called at the end of the 19th century. The “extra” at the Mercedes-Benz Museum is a reminder of this. The light distillation of crude oil was used as a cleaning agent back then and is still known as cleaner’s solvent today. This made the pharmacy the first filling station in history.
3 – Name: The fact that the German term for the engine fuel used today is “Benzin” has nothing to do with the Benz family name. The word comes from the term benzoin. “Benzin” had been known as a by-product of petroleum production from crude oil since the middle of the 19th century. The similarity of the word “Benzin” with the name Benz was therefore purely coincidental. However, this is not the case with diesel oil: This is actually named after Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the compression-ignition engine.
