Around here 93 is the highest octane we have. I would never put an octane booster in my car though.
I have seen 100 Octane fuel but its expensive....

So faster burning fuel = more power. Let's start loading jet fuel into our stangs VROOOOM!




P.S. That was just a joke..... to those of you who actually try it, your an idiot.

Yea, JP1 AKA jet fuel is a highly refined diesel fuel. Diesel fuel does have more BTU's than gas though so you're right there.

Why yes, yes it is. It is a form of Kerosene and Kerosene is D1 which is blended with D2 for winter use.

I went on the explain that very point. Kerosene is Diesel #1 and is blended with Diesel #2 during the winter for better flow and anti-gel. D1 is a more refined version of D2.
