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

The story behind the answer

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

In the film, Allinol is presented as a clean fuel promoted during the World Grand Prix. Its public image becomes part of the conflict when the corporation behind the event and a hidden group manipulate the fuel’s effects on race cars. The plot uses Allinol to connect the racing competition with the international espionage storyline.

Cars 2 follows Lightning McQueen as he enters the World Grand Prix and Mater as he is drawn into Finn McMissile’s investigation. The fuel’s name is easy to confuse with Rust-eze or Dinoco, which are fictional automotive brands and sponsors in the franchise. Allinol is specifically the fuel product at the center of the conspiracy, not the name of a racer, team, or real-world fuel company.
