   No, definately never put kerosene in your gas unless you really don't want 
your car for much longer. Also stay away from any jet fuels as well. While I 
was in the Air Force, another airman in my shop decided to run JP-4 in his 
bike, at roughly 50/50 mix. That evening he brought it back strapped to the 
back of a tow truck. Found out that he'd burned a hole through one piston and 
two more were about to follow. 
  I'll echo the thoughts of others and say to go with racing fuel, or if you 
really want to try aviation fuels, AVGAS, the type for piston engine planes 
had been recommended to me.
