I wasn't kidding when I said I heard it was jet fuel, not 100LL...Is it something with the state of New jersey? I hadn't heard about the 100LL mixup. This is the report I heard locally, and found here: www.businessinsider.com/nj-gas-station-fills-cars-with-jet-fuel-2012-12
An excerpt from the report:
"Cars were unknowingly filled with jet fuel yesterday after a fuel delivery service[img]cid:part1.09060200.00010609(at)agelesswings.com[/img] accidentally filled a pump at a Keyport, New Jersey gas station with kerosene, CBS New York reported. After filling up, the cars stalled. Car engines cannot combust jet fuel
A Lukoil station in Manasquan, New Jersey, also received the jet fuel"

| Quote: | Six NJ Gas Stations Mistakenly Fed 100LL - (Dec 12 2012)
The state of New Jersey confirmed Wednesday that six automotive gas stations received and sold leaded aviation fuel to drivers before the mistake was discovered and the sales were shut down. The fuel was delivered by eight tankers between Dec. 5 and Dec. 7 to six gas stations owned by the same company. In a statement from the Division of Consumer Affairs, the fuel was not directly identified as 100LL. The agency said the fuel was "rated at 104.7 octane compared to 93 octane for super unleaded," and contained "a small amount of lead." It was mistakenly sold to motorists as super unleaded. According to the agency, it "should not cause damage to vehicles engines." Click through for a link to the release from Consumer Affairs and a list of affected stations.

They think it will not affect the engine... The engine NO! But the Catalytic Converter and maybe the O2 Sensor and the MAP Sensor?
