while aircraft performance is enhanced as CNG typically burns 138 octane versus the current 100 octane of aviation gasoline. 138 Octane rating is comparable to the high octane aviation fuels used in WWII.

Higher, even. I think the top-end octane for WWII avgas was 130.

I’m reading a book by General LeMay. One of their prime bombing targets in Japan was the tetraethyl lead plant.
