Aviation fuel. In the past, they could run on 80LL or 100LL. 80LL is no longer available. Unleaded avgas types, such as 93UL, 94UL, 100LL, 102LL, etc. are still undergoing certification.

What is direct drive engine in a Cessna 172?

A direct drive engine arragement is one where the crankshaft, to which the pistons of the engine are connected, is directly connected to the propeller. Non-direct drive engines use a gearbox, usually a reduction gearbox, to make the propeller spin at a RPM lower than the engine's. In case of the Cessna 172, the rotational speed of the propeller (2 blade, hartzell) is the same as the engine's.
