Jet Fuel is not the same as high octane/race fuel.

In the SJ Merc it says the guy broke into Reid-Hillview which I think is light aircraft rather than jets. However, even if it wasn't jet fuel, the dude said that aviation fuel has a lot of lead additives and would mess up your cat and valves in no time.

It was probably AVGas, 110LL. You *could* run it in your car, but you'd **** up your cats.

It was def NOT jet fuel, jets cannot use that airstrip, it's a small airport with private and small commercial airliners.

I know exactly where this took place, because there is a gas station within the airport, its just not meant for civilians.

That sounds exactly like the article - kinda normal pumps but with longer hoses.

Yeah, thats what I meant, those are made for the small planes... I don't think jet fuel is dispensed there. (at that station)
