Allinol (stylized as allinol) was Miles Axlerod's "safe" but in reality, dangerous fuel in the 2011 Disney/Pixar animated film Cars 2.

- “Our investigation proved that Allinol was actually gasoline, and Axlerod engineered it so that when it got hit by the beam, it would explode.”
- ―Holley Shiftwell
In Cars 2, it was first believed that Allinol was the result of Miles Axlerod's research to find the renewable, clean-burning energy source of the future. He claimed it's the fuel that everybody should be using. To promote his new product, he organized the World Grand Prix, a large-scale international racing competition where all the racers would be using Allinol.
It was later revealed that Allinol was, in truth, regular gasoline that was engineered to boil, expand and, eventually, explode, should it come into contact with an electromagnetic pulse. It became part of a plan to turn the world against alternative fuel and have cars rely on gasoline due to Axlerod and his henchmen secretly owning the world's largest oil reserve. Allinol could be lethal for a car if the level of radiation is sufficient and, as such, was used to torture and kill Rod "Torque" Redline. During the final race, in London, when Lightning McQueen decided to use Allinol as his fuel of choice, Axlerod ordered his henchmen to kill him with the camera, but nothing happened. Later, Fillmore reveals that Sarge switched the Allinol from McQueen's fuel barrel in the pits with Fillmore's organic biofuel, which is why the camera had no effect on Lightning. What happened to Allinol after Axlerod was arrested is unknown. Presumably, the fuel was disused after its original use became publicly known.
Trivia[]
- The name "Allinol" is a play on "all in all" and "ethanol." It is in this way similar to the name of Buy n Large, also derived of a language expression.
- The Allinol logo is a modified version of the logo used in The Land pavilion at Walt Disney World's EPCOT Center from 1982 to 2005.
- The fact that Allinol is used in endurance racing is likely a reference to the recent introduction of alternative fuels to the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the American Le Mans Series. Some of the Le Mans Prototypes use alternative fuels in the ALMS as a part of the Green X Challenge championship. Also, in 2014, Formula One car engines were made more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient.
- For most of the film's development, Allinol's weakness that caused it to explode was planned to be nuclear radiation. Following the nuclear power plant meltdown in Fukushima during production, the weakness was changed to electromagnetic radio waves instead (as shown in John Lasseter's "Day in the Life" documentary).
