Solid fuel, rocket fuel, and now, nuclear fuel give bonus speed for vehicles. Presumably because of the higher quality you can get more power out of it at a time, in addition to more power being available.

I suggest that this should also be able to apply to burner power sources, like Fuel Generator Equipment, Boilers, Burner Inserters, Furnaces etc.
And, Modded in burner assemblers, etc. as well.

But the acceleration mechanic only applies to vehicles. Everything else jumps to max speed instantly, so more acceleration doesn't help.

I never said it was acceleration...
Sorry, let me restate this.

I would like a new trait added to fuel, Assembler Speed Boost, which boosts assembler crafting speed similar to a speed module when this type of fuel is used.
Feed a burner inserter nuclear fuel, it acts like a fast inserter.
Feed a boiler nuclear fuel, and it can feed like 4 or 5 steam engines instead of 2.
Feed a "Burner generator equipment" nuclear fuel, and it produces 2.5x as much power.

That kind of thing.

It doesn't have to be the same stat, and it isn't acceleration
