Jet fuel is kerosene, about the same stuff as diesel. Octane is a number that measures anti-knock properties of fuels. Diesels knock--that's how they work. Jets don't have enough compression to knock. Jet and diesel fuels would measure typically 15-25 "octane anti-knock". Sort of....

What is the fuel for the rockets that carries the shuttle to space?
High octane jet fuel.
What kind of fuel do jet cars use?
High octane kerosene
Why does jet fuel cost less per gallon than gasoline?
Jet fuel is diesel fuel, which is generally cheaper than high-octane gasoline.
Which type of fuel is used in aeroplanes?
Jet fuel is used in jet aircraft while high octane gasoline is used in propeller-driven craft.
Why would a car refueled with jet fuel stall?
Because the spark plugs cannot ignite the jet fuel. Jet fuel is not comparable to a really high octane gasoline, as many people seem to mistakenly think. Jet fuel is essentially #1 diesel fuel.
Can higher octane fuel reduce engine vibration?
High Octane fuel is highly refined fuel which is often used by the aircrafts and jet airliners. Therefore, such fuel will definitely help you to lower down the engine vibration.
What fuel does an airplane engine use?
Gas turbines use jet fuel and reciprocating engines use high-octane gasoline.
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.

Could adding jet fuel octane booster to your gas tank cause the car to stall when stopped?
Possibly but fyi most jet fuels are mostly like diesel, i.e. they have a much LOWER octane rating. Avgas is the exception
What gas does a airplane use?
Different types of aircraft use different types of fuel. Small aircraft generally use 110 octane, 100 octane-low lead or some newer engines use diesel. Airplanes that fly using turbo-prop or turbine systems use Jet A or Jet B type fuel which is a type of kerosene fuel.
How fast is a xr 600 Honda go?
about 250mph on pavement with racing fuel/high octane mix. And don't forget to put tranny oil and jet fuel into the gear box. and where do you get jet fuel you may ask? I have hook-ups(steal it) at the airport.
