I like the idea that there is more energy per pound in Jet A fuel than
AvGas,


Whoa! There is more energy in Jet A per GALLON. Depending on which weight
and BTU averages you are using, Jet A and Avgas come out pretty close on BTUs
per pound. Remember, Jet fuel is heavier than gasoline.

Okay. The point is, that there should be a commensurate increase in
range.
