The Indianapolis 500 launches a new era in racing - All IndyCars now run 100 percent Ethanol Racing Fuel having starting the switch-over from Methanol 100 in 2005.
Indy 500 begins running E100 at 91st annual race.
The pure ethanol racing fuel will be produced by a Renova Energy biodiesel refinery in Wyoming.
The 2006 season will not be the first time ethanol fuel has powered a car in the famed Indianapolis 500 series race. The 11th Indianapolis 500, held in 1927, featured a car driven by Leon Duray which was fueled by ethyl (grain) alcohol.

More people should learn about electric cars as a solution. It’s amazing how far the technology like zap has come in just a few years. Plus the savings driving an EV becomes more and more attractive the higher gas prices go.
