E15 for 2011.....

NASCAR moving to ethanol fuel mix for '11

By Official Release
October 16, 2010

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR announced Saturday it will race with E15 fuel in its three national touring series in 2011. Sunoco Green E15 is a 15-percent ethanol blend using American-made ethanol from corn grown by American farmers.

"NASCAR is committed to being an environmental leader, and the sport has taken significant steps over the years toward conservation by introducing measurable, best-in-class initiatives in recycling, alternative energy, and carbon mitigation," said Brian France, chairman and CEO of NASCAR.

"The transition to Sunoco Green E15 takes our long-term sustainability strategy to the next level. Sunoco Green E15 is good for racing, good for the environment and good for America. While fueling the same close, door-to-door racing that thrills our fans, American ethanol creates jobs in the United States, helps foster energy independence, and continues the greening of our sport."

"Since 2004, Sunoco has produced and delivered to NASCAR the world's best racing fuel flawlessly in a challenging, high-stakes environment," said Bob Owens, senior vice president of Sunoco. "We're proud to be part of NASCAR's dedication to conservation with Sunoco Green E15 -- the ultimate high-test ethanol fuel blend. In our six years as official fuel partner, Sunoco has changed with the times by helping NASCAR transition to unleaded fuel, and now we are eager to produce for the sport a high-performance ethanol blend."

Sunoco Green E15 will be blended at Sunoco's fuel facility in Marcus Hook, Pa., which provides high-performance race fuel to NASCAR teams at no cost to them. The American-grown and American-made corn ethanol will come in part from Sunoco's new ethanol plant in Fulton, N.Y. The new fuel will be pumped directly from tankers at the track, rather than from on-site underground storage tanks.

NASCAR team engine builders have been testing the Sunoco Green E15 for several months, and reports have been very positive. In fact, many have reported achieving more horsepower with Sunoco Green E15.

"With Sunoco Green E15, we are leading by example, showing that this renewable fuel -- which reduces greenhouse gas emissions -- works in the most demanding racing environment in the world," said Dr. Mike Lynch, managing director for Green Innovation for NASCAR. "NASCAR and Sunoco look forward to highlighting the efforts of the whole racing community to transition to Sunoco Green E15 in time for the Daytona 500 -- from its manufacture all the way to the race track."

Awesome! :D Maybe now Bio-Fuels can gain some traction in America. I may trade my cars in for flex-fuel cars.
 
That gas can looks half the size of the old one.

Go back to the ethanol sticker photo. Look at the spoiler, why is it stamped TEST ONLY? They have a different one for the race?

Bio fuels are a complete , joke, a scam, all they do is drive up the cost of corn for the consumer. They are actually less fuel efficient than regular standard gas!

It takes more oil to produce a gallon of ethanol which won't do the "work"of a gallon of gas. Or so they say.

I see dealers here advertising flex fuel vehicles but haven't a clue where they can buy 'flex fuel'

I'm with the comic Lewis Black, only idiots would convert a food source to use it as fuel.
 
Some more on that.....

Now let’s look at the argument that ethanol is a cleaner burning fuel. Ethanol produces less carbon dioxide per gallon than gasoline; however, since ethanol only contains 2/3 the energy (gallon for gallon), you have to use more ethanol than gasoline to go the same distance. By the time you factor in those two issues, pure ethanol actually produces more carbon dioxide than pure gasoline when you compare carbon dioxide produced per energy.

Worth it..... Probably not.
 
Haha, they're asking Junyer to compare himself to the Redskins!:D

HAH!!! :XXROFL::XXROFL::XXROFL:

For the record, the Redskins do not get a new coach every YEAR, it's every OTHER year. :rolleyes:

Apparently we haven't heard of Algae Fuel. which does produce more "work" than Ethanol.

Personally I hate Ethanol because it's backed by the Corn lobbyist, which is a group in our government that's far too powerful. I prefer to use Algae Fuel.
 
Hey guys

That Ethanol doesn't simply drip outta that corn! Lots of diesel is used in planting, harvesting, hauling, MANUFACTURING, distributing and then mixing with gasoline..
We LOSE lots of oil in the making of Ethanol.
We have stood on our hands and allowed our congress to screw us time after time. I am counting on the Tea Party to help get us back on a nice straight track again.
Betsy :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, I was wondering how testing turned into Bio-fuel and political parties?
The boys should be drafting this afternoon, right? It ought to be good.

I've been watching most of the teams are scared to draft only really Red Bull and MWR have been drafting.
 
I didn't watch the testing except for a few minutes. I'm sure this was addressed, but never heard it. I noticed the cars were kicked out in the back like we've seen before. Instead of the right side being the one kicked out, the left side was kicked out. It was very noticeable. Was anything said why the cars were kicked out to the left side instead the right side? It looked odd.
