What fictional fuel is promoted as an alternative energy source in Pixar’s Cars 2?

The story behind the answer

Allinol is the fictional alternative fuel promoted in Pixar’s Cars 2.

In Cars 2, Sir Miles Axlerod presents Allinol as a clean alternative to traditional petroleum-based fuel. The World Grand Prix is used to promote the product, with competing racers required to use it during the international event.

The film’s spy plot reveals that Allinol is not as harmless as its public image suggests. Its effects on race cars help create panic and give the conspirators a way to manipulate public opinion about alternative fuels. Mater, Finn McMissile, and Holley Shiftwell gradually uncover the scheme.

Rust-eze and Dinoco are different fictional brands in the Cars universe. Rust-eze sponsors Lightning McQueen, while Dinoco is a major racing and fuel brand associated with the Piston Cup. Allinol is specific to the international storyline of Cars 2.
