What alternative fuel brand is central to the plot of Pixar’s Cars 2?

The story behind the answer

Allinol is the alternative fuel brand central to the plot of Pixar’s Cars 2.

Sir Miles Axlerod introduces Allinol during the World Grand Prix as a cleaner alternative fuel and uses the international race to promote it. Lightning McQueen initially agrees to participate with Allinol, while the fuel becomes a major part of the film’s mystery.

The story reveals that attacks on racers using Allinol are connected to a wider scheme involving oil-dependent interests and a plan to discredit the fuel. The plot turns the World Grand Prix into both a sporting event and an international espionage operation.

Allinol is fictional and belongs to the Cars universe. It is not the same as Rust-eze, Lightning McQueen’s sponsor, Dinoco, a famous racing and fuel brand, or Octane Gain, another fictional sponsor. Those brands appear in the Cars films, but Allinol is the fuel product specifically driving the sequel’s central conflict.
