Turbines generally burn fuel more completely since they run lean, whereas many gasoline engines are run rich with less complete combustion. Many GA aircraft are turbine equipped anyway. | |

| Feb 15, 2017 at 3:16 | comment | added | Pondlife | Welcome to aviation.SE! There are quite a lot of questions on this site already about fuel types, electric engines, batteries, solar power etc. that you might want to check out. This one in particular is basically the same as your question and it was closed because it's simply too speculative. (And as an aside, outside North America it's often a lot easier to find Jet A than avgas.) | |
