Look at it another way, the banter, the thoughts, research, hands to keyboard, rude or loud words, etc. all help to slow that onslaught, and perhaps raise the blood pressure.

This is very similar to the Animal World where an Alpha Male wants to be looked upon as the Oracle, or infallible, standing upright beating his chest as the Testosterone pump through his body!!! Well Gents the funny part is that it is a medical fact that males past the age of 30 their levels of Testosterone deplete approx. 1% every year there after, So the rest of you "old blokes" should possibly offer calmly your opinions on a subject but also understand at this time in life sit back and enjoy the onslaught of Manboobs
Love it!

Ok, here's my 2 bob's worth from a guy who has done it...
In older diesels, i.e. Indirect and direct injection, around 5% to 10% is generally ok and shouldn't do any damage. Did this myself a couple of times with an old Toyota 1HZ motor with no ill effects.
If yours is a common rail diesel (CRD), then my advice is DO NOT DRIVE IT! CRD engines run rail pressures around 26,000 psi (yes you see that right!). The injectors and the pumps are built to incredibly small tolerances and petrol can (and will) destroy them. Equally, water is the biggest enemy of CRD injectors and even a small amount will ruin them very quickly. CRD injectors can range around $400 to $800 each, plus labour. Some injector pumps will set you back $10,000.
I did do it once with a Toyota V8 CRD, but fortunately realised before I started it and had it flat bedded to a nearby workshop and drained the tank.
