Some people can get that for cheaper than regular gas. My uncle did that, and his Predator wasn't running right when he did, so I wouldn't do it.

i guess you learn something everyday....

how does it compare to gasoline in terms of octane, longevity, optimum air/fuel ratio, ect....

Aviation is around 106 octane and is leaded. Around here it is $2.79 a gallon. From what I understand it is meant for high elevation and low RPM use, which is not how an atv is used.

in my science class we have this small 1:16 i think scale of a nascar car. with the right gearing on the right terrain it gets to 60mph in about 3 seconds or something, and it uses aviation fuel. winds out to about 23,000rpm or something wild like that. maybe different kind of aviation fuel or something....
