Either low lead aviation petrol, or kerosene-based jet fuel.
On piston powered aircraft you have gasoline AVGAS with different amounts of lead and octane ratings for example 100 or 100LL. On jets you have kerosene with different additives and manufacturing methods like Jet-A, Jet-B, JP-8 to name a few.
