If you have a gas tractor with normal compression ratio, I can't see how anything but straight pump gas can do you any good. Kerosene and diesel have higher cetane numbers than gas which mean they detonate sooner. Airplane fuel is generally 110 octane because aircraft engines run a bit hotter and have higher compression ratio's. If you have a stock gas engine with normal advance, the compression ratio is probably around 6 - 7 so pump gas is fine. If you want to advance the spark some and get some knock move up to premium pump gas.
