typically 100LL AvGas, though this is not ideal due to exhaust valve issues based upon lead deposits. most radial engines were certified for use with 67 octane, or anotherlow octane gasoline. newer models, such as the Russian M14-P are designed for compatibility with 100LL.

How much fuel does a fighter aircraft use?
You would have to specify a particular aircraft, "fighter aircraft" is too broad a definition.
What kind of fuel does a Piston engine plane use?
A piston engine aircraft can use high octane auto gas (yep, same stuff you fill your car up with!) or 100LL, a 100 octain fuel with lead in it. LL stands for 'low lead'. MOST piston aircraft uses 100LL because most airports don't carry car gas anymore.
Do helicopters use jet fuel?
The type of fuel is specific to the type of engine, not the aircraft. Helicopters that have jet engines use jet fuel, and helicopters that have internal combustion engines use gasoline. However the General Electric T-58 had a device in the fuel control that allowed you to burn just about anything from avgas to jet fuel to kerosene.
What fuel does a plane use?
Jet fuel, literally <><><> Depends on the plane. Jet aircraft DO use jet fuel, which is mainly very pure kerosene. Piston engined aircraft use AVGAS- or Aviation gasoline- a high octane form of gasoline.
