In Pixar’s Cars 2, what fuel brand is promoted as an alternative to gasoline?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar’s Cars 2, Allinol is the fuel brand promoted as an alternative to gasoline.

Allinol is central to the film’s international racing storyline. Sir Miles Axlerod presents it as a clean, environmentally friendly fuel and uses the World Grand Prix to promote it publicly. The races are intended to demonstrate that cars can run successfully on Allinol.

The apparent environmental breakthrough becomes part of a larger conspiracy. The film reveals that Allinol can cause cars to malfunction when exposed to a particular electromagnetic pulse, allowing its enemies to create chaos and discredit alternative fuel. Mater becomes involved while trying to uncover what is really happening behind the races.

Allinol is fictional and should not be confused with Rust-eze, Lightning McQueen’s sponsor, or Dinoco, the well-known racing brand in the Cars universe. The brand’s name and its supposed environmental benefits are plot devices rather than references to a real commercial fuel.
