RE: Lubricity of Gasoline
Someone must have done something on it to back up the fuel pump work for DI gasoline engines.
It may be worth doing an SAE paper search using Hitchi and Mitsubishi.
Hitachi - manufacturers of DI gasoline pumps
Mitsubishi - had DI engines in the market for a few years now

Unfortunately, "lubricity" is not recognized as an actual property of fuel. You will likely find specific gravity and possibly viscosity defined in ASTM D 4814, as well as allowable sulfur content.

Q. Why is diesel fuel a lubricant and gasoline not?
Ans. The carbon chain of diesel is long enough to "ball up" while the shorter chain of gasoline remains "straight" providing little lubrication.
