What gas do planes run on?

Natural gas - some of them could I guess. It depends on the type of aircraft and what the engine is designed for. Usually (I'd guess 95% of the time) piston aircraft (many of the smaller propeller airplanes) use "Avgas" (Aviation Gasoline) which is similar to the gasoline used in cars except it has a higher octane rating (say between 100 and 130) than the typical gas used by cars (which might be 85 to 90 octane). Jet propelled aircraft use "Jet Fuel" which is similar to Kerosene or Diesel fuel used by large trucks. If the aircraft engine was designed to use natural gas then that's what it would run on.
