The most common fuels used in race cars these days (2007) are: 1. Leaded and unleaded gasoline. This fuel is used by many types of race cars and octane levels are usually high, meaning 94 and above. Gasoline is used in drag cars, rally cars, stock cars, and even Formula One cars. Gasoline is derived from the distillation of crude oil.
And then thereâs NASCAR. Sunoco has been the official fuel of NASCAR since 2004, supplying a 98-octane unleaded racing gasoline. Beginning next year, the cars will be fueled with Sunoco E15, a blend of 85 percent gasoline and 15 percent ethanol. Gasoline motorists pump into their vehicles at Sunoco stations is a 90 percent gas-10 percent ethanol blend. âSunoco Green E15 is good for racing, good for the environment and good for America,â Brian France, chairman and chief executive officer of NASCAR, said in a news release.
