High octane takes more heat to ignite and has less energy content its counter intuitive to what you would think a race car would want. For a stove lower octane gas will light easier and contain more btu's. Most of the higher octane pump fuel has alot of alcohol to increase octane

The lowest octane gas you can get will be the most volatile and easiest to light. High octane is for race cars.

I have successfully used unleaded (regular, mid, and premium), diesel, and kerosene, along with the standard white gas. works great, just doesn't burn quite as cleanly during startup.

I used premium unleaded with out a problem. I'm sure the regular stuff would work just as well. Plus it only cost about 60 cents to fill my liter bottle!
