""This year marks the fourth season that IndyCar has used 100% renewable race fuel for the NTT IndyCar Series - the first motorsport series in North America to utilize this type of fuel. Developed through a collaboration with Shell, this innovative fuel consists of a blend of second-generation ethanol derived from sugarcane waste and other biofuels mainly derived from animal waste.""
""The use of this renewable race fuel enables a 60% reduction in life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. So while driving Indy cars 177 miles in a circle may seem wasteful during a gas crunch, Sunday's race will have a negligible effect on the price and availability of fuel at service stations.""
The Grand Prix of Long Beach will see 27 Indy cars burning approximately two gallons of fuel each for 90 laps, totaling 4,860 gallons. This race utilizes 100% renewable race fuel, developed with Shell, which includes second-generation ethanol and biofuels. This fuel choice results in a 60% reduction in life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. Despite concerns about fuel consumption during a gas price surge, the race's impact on fuel prices is minimal compared to the influx of fans attending the event.
