Kerosene is also known as AvGas. It's a special kind of fuel that's more refined.

AvGas is just 100 octane (aviation) gasoline that also has a small amount of lead added to it.

Jet-A fuel is refined kerosene, used on turboprop and jet turbine aircraft. Kerosene is considered #1 diesel fuel and typical car/truck diesel is considered #2 diesel.

Anyway.. definitely not the same.
