Should work pretty good since it has a motor fuel octane rating of like 130 and it appears that big rigs are using it. Heavy duty diesel engine on big rigs are always running boost when on the highway at speed even with an empty trailer.

At $2.30/gge it should be about 1/3 cheaper than gas and the fact that its natural gas should extend oil change intervals some what.
