The aircraft was fueled by the [airport] FBO. The tanks were checked after and appeared to contain 100LL. After takeoff abnormal indications were observed by the pilot flying and pilot observing. High cht temps were the main concern. Power was reduced and airspeed was increased to remedy the problem. There was no change. The pilot observing requested to see the fuel receipt from the pilot flying. The receipt indicated that the aircraft was fueled with jet a.
