    Same lang siya Small or Wide body aircraft pereho silang ginagamit, dahil yan ang nilalagay namin sa mga aircraft at hindi porke jet a-1 for jet lang yan. and avgas ay hindi gasoline na as gasoline na pang kotse its also a kerosene, meron lang silang ibat ibang freezing point para kung saan sila papunta doon binebase.

    Avgas = blue color... according to guage (if manufacturer follows standard dye color coding) 95-112 octane... avgas is actually just high octane gasoline... some racers use this as an additive to pump gas to boost octane, but do not use avgas purely since it promotes very high vaporization that accumulates water within the fuel tank (w/c is really bad for the injectors)...

    I understand your idea that avgas can be used for small or wide body aircraft... condition: it should be using a piston engine...

    Jet A-1 = for jet powered planes.
