Question could i run propane through a rotary?

hey i am looking into using a 13b for my next project. I also wanted to go eco-friendly and burn propane, i was wondering if this has been tried before? I dont know were i heard it but some one told me rotary motors burn premuim, and i think propane's octane is like 80. i dont want to go turbo just NA so the question is will it work?
thanks zeth
