In Pixar’s Cars 2, what fuel does Miles Axlerod falsely promote as environmentally friendly?

The story behind the answer

Miles Axlerod falsely promotes Allinol as an environmentally friendly fuel in Pixar’s Cars 2.

Allinol is presented as a clean alternative to petroleum during the World Grand Prix. Axlerod encourages competitors to use it, claiming that the fuel will demonstrate the benefits of renewable energy. The public promotion disguises his real plan to make the fuel appear dangerous.

Axlerod secretly equips Allinol with a substance that can be activated by electromagnetic radiation. The resulting malfunctions cause cars using the fuel to lose control or suffer mechanical problems. The incidents are intended to discredit Allinol and push the world back toward oil.

Allinol is fictional and should not be confused with Dinoco or Rust-eze, which are racing brands in the Cars universe. The film’s fuel plot is a spy-thriller device rather than a realistic account of fuel chemistry or automotive engineering.
