Default GA pilots burning biodiesel (was Cost of gas is beginningto hurt)

Nowhere in the website does it give the octane rating for the kerosene,
which it lists as "86%-98%." The octane boost has to come from the other
2%-14%. If there is so much kerosene in it, I would not trust its
efficacy.


Remember, octane is not a measure of power or energy. It is a measure
of knock (detonation) resistance.
