Most race car drivers prefer fuel that is methanol- or ethanol-based, and the reason is simple, really. Overall, alcohol-based fuel has a high octane rating which increases fuel efficiency. ... Race car engines are different than those in a regular car. They are built to get more power out of fuels with less energy.Nov 27, 2017

If it's good for NASCAR good enough for me and cheaper. I've had my Chev Tahoe over ten years and pulled out a Ford pickup with duel back wheels stuck in the river bed. I like to brag about that. The truck has been a beast I'm wanting to sell it or something, only a few bullet holes, and I replaced back window with Plexiglas. The two passenger windows I have to keep duct taped to stay up. Driver door handle is busted but all and all the motor has been good. I don't know what to ask for but the bullet holes does give it street cred value.

You realize those engines are only used one time and then completely rebuilt or thrown away.
