Naphtha and benzene are actually different chemicals, though...
Yea yea I know they're all hydrocarbons but it's still funny.
AfaIk, Naphta is just a relatively light fraction of crude oil, i.e. a mixture of different chemicals, not gaseous, but partly volatile.
In Germany, fuel (Ottokraftstoff) is called Benzin, and was originally a mixture of 60 % Benzin (Naphta, alkanes and cyclic alkanes) and 40 % Benzene (Benzol).
Wer ist der Otto?
Nikolaus Otto was the inventor of the four-stroke internal combustion engine.
