For you Fuel Geeks out there that understand Motor Octane and such, I found two links that may be of interest to you. One is the Swift Fuel Oshkosh 09 presentation that gives a status report and details about the fuel. The other is the FAA Final report on Detonation testing of Swift fuel in a Lycoming TIO-540-J2BD. I'm surprised at how far along the program is.

For those of you who have never heard of Swift Fuel, it's a possible biofuel replacement for 100LL that contains no lead or alcohol.
