Flightpath has clearly pointed out that it is actually the same fuel produced at the refinery yet no-one has made comment ?
It was actually covered by a poster earlier in the discussion. With regard to aircraft fuels, it's not only the actual composition of the fuel that's the important thing. What is also very important is how it is cared for between leaving the refinery and getting into the engine.

Similar argument/ discussions go on about the pros and cons of the use of MOGAS in aircraft piston engines.

One good piece of aviation advice given to me many years ago: "Think what the Board of Inquiry might have to say about it". These days I would also add a rider: "And the insurance company".
