Note on k-jet 140-160

I am not aware of this myth. My understanding is that a mixture slightly richer than stoichiometric produces best power, and provides greater resistance to detonation. Every modern fuel injection system goes rich during WOT, and aircraft piston engines always go rich during full power operation for these reasons. Aircraft fuel used to be rated at two different octanes depending on rich or lean operation, and the rich octane value is always substantially higher.
