Airplane fuel typically refers to aviation gasoline (avgas) or jet fuel. Aviation gasoline, commonly used in piston-engine aircraft, usually has an octane rating between 100 and 130, with the most common type being 100LL (low lead), which has an octane rating of 100. Jet fuel, such as Jet A or Jet A-1, does not have an octane rating because it is a kerosene-based fuel used in turbine engines, which operate differently than piston engines.

What is high octane fuel?

Regular unleaded fuel is 87 octane. High octane fuel is any fuel higher than regular. 89 and 91 octane being the most common the consumer can buy. High octane fuel is not needed in most cars and is a waste of money if your car does not need it. It provides no benefit whatsoever in a vehicle designed to run on Regular. Octane is only a measure of how well the fuel prevents pre-detonation in a high compression engine.
