in 2012 i owned a car that could run 100 octane fuel, and that was $9 a gallon. a few more octane and you get Jet-A minus the additives.

according to jetfueltracker jetA is about $2 more than 87 octane right now and about $1 more than 93 octane. and still somehow cheaper than diesel.

I'm not used to seeing jet fuel this cheap, luckily there's none near me to waste money on.

So? Diesel and petrol (gasoline) are different fuels. Comparing them by RON is irrelevant.
