I don't know if it burns hotter or not, I know that typical Jet Fuel autoignites at around 400 degrees and Gasoline autoignites at around 200 degrees. I'm now chemist or aerospace engeneer but I'm pretty sure that the benifits of jet fuel's higher flashpoint is for better efficiency. I have a buddy who was a crew cheif on helicopters in the Army and he told me (and I am in no way endorsing thie) that you can throw a lit match into a puddle of jet fuel and the only thing that would happen is the match would go out.

Again not trying to nitpick LOL!

And my thoughts on the fire at the arena is that The Tower folks took the fuel trucks to the Arena and lit a huge bonfire.
