Four identical vehicle models, 1, 2, 3 and 4, were tested for fuel efficiency using LPG, petrol (unleaded, 91 octane), E10 (petrol with 10% ethanol added) and petrodiesel. Carbon dioxide, CO2, emissions per litre of fuel burnt were also determined. The following table summarises the results. Using the information in the table above, which one of the following statements about petrodiesel is correct?

A student is asked to research and then recommend either petrodiesel or biodiesel as the preferred fuel for a small Victorian transport company. The company stores some of its fuel supplies in tanks situated in remote locations for occasional use. The air temperature in these remote locations can range between 0 °C and 40 °C. Based on this information, the student would recommend petrodiesel rather than biodiesel because petrodiesel is
more hygroscopic, more viscous and less likely to biodegrade when stored.
more hygroscopic, less viscous and more likely to biodegrade when stored.
less hygroscopic, more viscous and more likely to biodegrade when stored.
less hygroscopic, less viscous and less likely to biodegrade when stored.
