Ah. Thank you. My sister has a Jetta wagon TDI, and I didn’t remember anything in the manual about jet fuel. :slight_smile: Jetta fuel, on the other hand…

That Jetta will most certainly run on Jet A, if you’re willing to pay up to $6 a gallon. Just don’t get pulled over by a cop with a keen sense of smell, as Jet A is quite pungent.

Since we’re on aviation fuels, Avgas is just as illegal, if not more so, to burn in an automible.

Avgas will also completely destroy your catalytic converter due to the lead content.

I don’t have a catalytic converter in my pickup, for example as it predates emission controls. In this instance there would be no benefit as the engine is incapable of utilizing the high octane. I think it’s the tax issues that are a factor, but as far as I know, it isn’t illegal to run in race cars and such.

You just assume I’m talking about a building for storing aircraft. For all you know, he was somehow squeezed inside of a coat hanger.

I can’t figure out the mechanics of how that works, but that’s my story and I’m sticking with it! :smiley:
