  TIL. I've only made a few business plane trips, but thinking back on it they were all turboprops.

    Turboprops also run on jet fuel. Only reciprocating engines use avgas.

      Jets will run on anything that burns, most turboprops are allowed to burn avgas in emergencies. Some officially allow 100+ hours of avgas operation between overhauls.
