Problem is they don't bother saying exactly what it is, and so we can't tell how much is marketing tripe and straight up B.S.

But if anyone wants to play detective, and make some major assumptions about the validity of the claims:

Clues? the "Swift Fuel" stuff:
smells like a musty old locker room
is 104 motor octane
created from millet,switchgrass,sorghum,garbage?
Not ethanol, "don't have alcohol in the fuel"
Can use and retrofit an ethanol type facility.
Mixes with avgas
EGT is higher and CHT is cooler.
6.5 lbs per gallon, vs 6 lbs for avgas
meets/exceeds performance of 100ll without engine mods.

Hope that helps
