Yea you can mix it.

Now, would you like to know if it will work or not? lol If it was tuned on Q16, run Q16.

No you cant.......Jet a is and i qoute for you "Kerosene-type jet fuel (including Jet A and Jet A-1) has a carbon number distribution between about 8 and 16 carbon numbers; wide-cut or naphtha-type jet fuel (including Jet B), between about 5 and 15 carbon numbers.[2]"

I think you missed my sarcasm lol You can mix anything, whether it ends up homogeneous or heterogeneous it's still doable

And OP, don't even try it. Just keep the Q16 in it, it's made to run in a vehicle. We all have access to crack, but you don't see us all using it do ya?

I wouldn't even consider using it. Just use what your car was tuned on, in this case Q16. It's just not worth the risk of the potential damage you could do to your motor.

What about AV gas or aviation 100 leaded octane can I mix that w/ 93 unleaded octone? the car has not been tune on any race fuel yet but we are about to street tune one tonight and I just want to know if its safe to use this gas on say 15-20 psi of boost. Thank you all.

If you're gonna tune it as a street tune I take it it's a street car?

Just run pump since I would imagine that's what most cars would run anyways.

lol, why would you even ask a question like that Do yourself a favor and stick with the q16. If you have a little extra Jet A, save it for your floor bullet heater

..exactly. ..and if you have a cat, the avgas will kill that, and you will end up fouling out your plugs sooner or later too

IF you didnt want to buy q16 then you should not have used it for your tune. Tune it on what you can run and run it on what you tune.

DO NOT MIX THE JET FUEL!!! It is more related to diesel than to gasoline. It is like a higher grade kerosene. Like someone else said, put it in your floor bullet heater and enjoy!

aviation gas is fine, if you wanna deal with the side-effects of leaded gas, but Jet fuel IS NOT A GASOLINE PRODUCT.

you'd be better off putting Coleman Lantern oil in the gas tank.
