Default RE: fuel question

As others have said, car fuels simply don't have enough oil in them for plane engines. On the reverse side of things, plane fuels work perfectly well in car engines. I have plane engines that I consider to be barely run in after 10 hours and I expect them to last for hundreds of hours but I don't skimp on how much oil I mix in when I make my fuel. Put it this way, the engine runs on the methanol and nitro but it's the oil that keeps it running .
