Many use standard petrol, some use high octane petrol.
Power sources for propeller driven aircraft are usually either a gas turbine or a piston cylinder engine. There are other, obscure types, usually variations of a internal combustion engine, or an electric motor like in the Helios

Different types of petrol include aviation fuels such as Jet A and Jet A-1, which are used in commercial jet engines, and Avgas (aviation gasoline), typically used in smaller aircraft. Additionally, there are specialized fuels like 100LL (low lead) Avgas, which is designed for high-performance piston engines. Each type of fuel is formulated to meet specific performance and safety standards for its intended use in aviation. Other types of petrol, like automotive gasoline, are formulated differently to meet the requirements of car engines.
There are basically two types of spark ignition engine. They are the diesel spark engines and the petrol spark engines.
It is called an Internal Combustion Engine(ICE for short) and covers a broad range of engine types not just the specified piston-cylinder engines asked about, but covers any kind of power source where fuel is burned with air(oxidised), inside a confined space and the resulting energy is used to turn a shaft through pistons and levers or turbines so that the energy can be used for a desired purposed. There are many different types of piston-cylinder engines but the most common ones in cars are four stroke petrol or diesel engines, less common are two stroke petrol and diesel engines. There are other types but of no real note to anyone except engineers and related disciplines.
There are lots of types of aircraft on the world. Aircrafts are separated by engine number, fuselage dimensions, engine types, military or civil, passenger, cargo and helicopter.
Yes, jet is atype of aircraft engine. There are hundreds of types and makes of jets.
This question is best answered with a "Depends On" type of answer. There are several types of Aircraft that use several types of fuel. There are common piston type aircraft that use anything from common no lead gasoline to jet aircraft that use a higher octane product commonly referred to as JP4 or jet fuel. The "Depends on" comes in with the highly volatile cost of petroleum based fuels. You can figure that common fuel for piston type aircraft (commonly 100LL / 100 octane Low Lead) is similar in price to automotive gasoline with a $1 - $2 premium usually added by the supplier because you have few choices of where to buy it unless you go to another airport. The cost of going to another airport is usually higher than just paying the premium. Jet fuel (JP4) is often cheaper than the 100LL for piston aircraft because the airports desire more jet aircraft to do business at their facility. Currently (Winter 2010) fuel for my piston aircraft is in the neighborhood of $4.50 per gallon and my aircraft (Single engine Piper Warrior) burns approximately 9 gallons per hour.
Airplanes typically use aviation fuel, with the most common types being Jet A and Jet A-1, which are kerosene-based fuels. Smaller general aviation aircraft may use aviation gasoline (avgas), specifically 100LL (low lead). Jet A is designed for turbine engine aircraft, while avgas is used for piston-engine aircraft. These fuels are formulated to provide high energy content and optimal performance at various altitudes.
A hybrid vehicle must have two types of engine - most have an electric motor along side a normal petrol engine.
Plane fuel is commonly referred to as aviation fuel. The two main types are Avgas, used primarily in piston-engine aircraft, and Jet A or Jet A-1, which are used in jet engines. These fuels are specially formulated to meet the performance and safety requirements of aviation.
