According Dewar, " We would accept it. We believe that it would be good on all fronts, because, obviously, it would send a signal to the public. Many people do not understand the benefits of ethanol ".
The use of renewable fuels, already working in other racing series such as the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series will race at 100 per cent ethanol similar to American LeMans Series race will be 10 per cent ethanol blend.
And today NASCAR also expressed a desire to try ethanol. The driver Kyle Petty said NASCAR& 39;s marketing power might drive alternative fuels into the mainstream to help consumers forget the image of hippies terrorizing them by putting vegetable oil in their 1980s Mercedes. " I think as soon as you start to see alternative fuels appear in places like racing and the places where you least expects it, and then you think that the guy with & quot; " Volkswagen, that contrary to leave any van & quot; added Petty.
NASCAR again taking the first step towards environmental responsibility, taking the lead in the use of ethanol, similar to what he did in the 1980s, when he switched from the use of leaded to unleaded fuel .
Proponents ethanol very frankly, that despite the many benefits that ethanol fuel can offer it is not a magic wand, saying that it is not as efficient as gasoline. But with the ever-increasing danger of global warming as a result of emissions are vehicles, efficiency has become a trivial issue. It is important to preserve the environment. However, the ongoing study and research are conducted to make ethanol as effective as gasoline.
" I think that global warming is, and all that says that a lot more people are aware of the fact that we need to do something " said Petty.
Most American cars run on 90 per cent and 10 per cent of fuel ethanol blends, in order to function on a mixture of ethanol heavier, cars must be equipped with specially for her. According to Dewar, technological innovations can help reduce the price of ethanol. Currently, ethanol is used in the United States is derived from corn and ethanol used in Brazil from sugar cane. There are some studies show that certain types of grasses, and even sawdust, is a much better source for ethanol. Researchers are also working on the preparation of enzymes that would break down waste to ethanol. Dewar said that in five years we should expect cars literally working on recycling fuel.
It encouraged to see that the world& 39;s largest automaker and creator of the popular car accessories, car covers as GM, General Motors --- so passionate in their goal to help the environment. Does this mean that we will see a lot of green GM cars in the future?
