In the early 1990's, Dick Guldstrand did a natural gas version of his GS90 sports car, a re-bodied ZR-1 Corvette, which achieved 490 horsepower. He had a shop near me and I talked to him, back then. He said that the advantage of natural gas was that it had about 130 octane. But, the impurities made it difficult. I asked how the impurities were introduced, and he said that the same pipelines used to transport natural gas over long distances were also used for propane, which has about 90 octane.
