I dont know about petrol, but when i did a similar thing with nitro, i drank about a pint of lemonade mixed with apple juice, it worked pretty well.
Probably something to do with the acid, mabe try sucking lemons? lol

Milk makes the most sence, it gets rid of the effects of spicy foods. I dont like milk though, hence why i didnt try it.
