IRL (Indy Racing League) cars use alcohol fuel, specifically ethanol, primarily for its high octane rating, which allows for better performance and efficiency in high-speed racing conditions. Ethanol also has a higher cooling effect, which can help prevent engine overheating. Additionally, using alcohol fuels aligns with efforts to promote renewable energy sources and reduce emissions, making it a more environmentally friendly choice compared to traditional gasoline.
Starting in 2006, the IRL switched to Ethanol.
Indycars and F1 cars use alcohol-based fuels. NASCAR uses high-octane gasolines.
If it is NITRO powered you use anywhere from 20% nitro fuel to 33% nitro fuel. Traxxas top fuel is the best fuel for nitro cars.
no hybrids use the same amount of fuel as other cars but u can also use electriceity
Modern fuel injected cars, no.
No, it is a poor fuel for use in autos.
Upper-end cars use Premium fuel

yes, ethyl alcohol is used in many countries as fuel in automobiles.
All cars would use compressed air (or nitrogen) to inflate tyres. Most cars would use petrol or diesel as a fuel (in the US petrol is known as gas). Some cars use Propane gas as a fuel. Technology is being developed to fuel cars with Hydrogen gas.
Depends on the car. The most common fuel is unleaded gasoline but some cars also run on diesel, ethanol, methanol, alcohol, propane, natural gas, electricity and various combinations of these.
