Jet Fuel?
Hey.
I found this picture today, taken on a trip we did earlier in the year to the south of France and the Nürburgring in Germany (which I'm taking my RX-8 to in a few weeks).
Now, I'm sure there isn't a jet engine under the bonnet of that thing... I'm assuming it's just a different kind of engine? Jet engine fuel is just Kerosene or something similar, isn't it?
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Probably just a joke.
Av gas is used at the drag strip some times for the higher octane, added power.

Doubt it was a joke - this was in France, and the car Aéroport d'Avignon on the side - it's an 'official' car for the nearby airport.
Edit: Beaten to it!
