Physiquement, c'est un fioul léger et, réglementairement, un carburant (norme fiscale) issu du raffinage du pétrole. Le mot « gazole » est issu du mot anglais « gasoil » (fioul, mazout).

Dans d'autres pays, comme la Belgique, le Canada et la Suisse, le produit est connu comme « diesel », mot issu du nom de Rudolf Diesel, l'inventeur du moteur Diesel, qui fonctionne habituellement avec ce carburant. |
