Octane isn't used in gasoline anymore guys. It'* an Octane rating, it shows what octane levels the gasonline reacts like.

That'* the question right there.

MOST race gas is leaded. I don't need to tell you to stay away from leaded, do I?

And the comment about Kerosene is correct too. All Jets run off of JP. Slightly higher refined Kerosone or Diesel. Not standard aviation gas.

If you go to the airport, make sure you buy 'Avgas'. Not JP.

Doesn't leaded gas just clog a cat up? I know it doesn't burn clean for crap, but mechanically you can run it except your cat will clog?

It'll muck up O2 sensors also, which pretty much rules it out.

Yea, well I like to run 345 octane.


Just kidding. Kerosene is good for lighting stuff on fire.
