NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jet A fuel is basicly Diesel.... we call it "dirty disel".... I wont even go into details as to why you dont want to use that.
100 LL (Low Lead) -If you were to use that your going to suffer from detonation, and the lead content will not only fowl up your spark plugs, but it will ruin your emmitions systems.... CAN YOU SAY SENSOR REPLACEMENT?
If you do end up trying it anyway, make sure you get it on tape, so that when the next member asks the same type of question, I can post the vid, and go "And this is what happends"....
Stick to the stuff from the gas station (Except the diesel)

Absolutely. While you're at it, add a gallon of paint thinner and a couple of banana peels into the mix for that extra octane oomph

Cessna's right. We do, in fact, use jet fuel in our diesel trucks. JP-5, JP-4, JP-8, Jet A, Jet A+, Everclear...just keep it all far, far away from your car.
IF you can get your car to start with the stuff in the tank, you'll run into big problems, not least of which is overheating due to the high flashpoint of aviation fuels.
