Piston-engined airplanes run on avgas, which is very similar to automotive gasoline, but higher octane.

Turbine-engined airplanes like jets, turboprops and many helicopters run on jet fuel. Jet fuel is very similar to kerosene or diesel fuel, but is highly filtered and usually contains additives to prevent formation of water-ice crystals in the fuel system.
