Yep yep. Check it out:
This year, the IRL takes a baby step, mixing in 10 percent ethanol into the traditional, carbon-based methanol, which burns much the same as ethanol but is made from a nonrenewable source. Next year, these open-wheel cars will run on 100 percent ethanol.
From this article.
100% next year? Now that I’m going to have to see.
Ethanol, Ethyl, that was quite a finish today!
Yea it was!
I’d run 10% Ethanol if my MINI would run like that ;)
This from USA Today, last week…………….
“Ethanol, which is typically derived from corn in the USA, currently comprises 10% of the fuel blend for the IndyCar Series. Next year it will be 100%, ending the reign of methanol that has powered IndyCars for nearly four decades.”
Aren’t we all running at least 10% Ethanol right now?
Not here in Socal we aren’t. the other thing they usually add to our gas is MTBE. All that does is rot fuel lines and gaskets LOL
