I believe AV gas refers to aviation fuel. It is used in aircraft engines requiring a higher octane rating with anti-knock properties, in higher compression engines, also used as a racing fuel for the same reason. Also aircraft flying at altitude may rely on a air compressor or supercharger of some sort, to keep the air flowing at pressures equal to atmospheres at or near sea level, to maintain adequate performance.
During WW2, Packard was really good building these engines.
