Airplane fuel ain't carosean....Carosean is for jet engines.
You can use the airplane fuel....A lot of people I know used it for dragracing.
My father works at an oil refinary and he said it was ok to use when racing it's just High octane fuel(Nafta)

airplane gas isn't rated in the same "octane" kinda scale we are used to... its not that special either, despite being kinda expensive..
Most air planes are 500ish Ci 6cylinders and only rev to like 2500rpms.... torque, not Hp..

Lots of the smaller homebuilt airplanes use Subaru flat 4 motors. Airplane fuel is fine to use but make sure you don't have an O2 sensor or a cat. Airplane fuel is leaded and will ---- both up.

My mom used to fuel airplanes(usually learjets and such, sometimes the big ones too), and used the airplane fuel in her AMC hornet. She didn't have any problems for a while, but it did eventually die.

its works my bonding to the gasonline atoms a molecular level to make the the fuel more resitant to cumbustion.
most people think its just a "super gas". if u fill your tank with 100% tulene, the car wont even start.
