Penske used Sunoco naturally. Racing gas then did not have to cope with the extreme compression ratios that came about later. Remember backt then automotive products were the major sponsors. Publicity did make a difference in gasoline sales. Last edited by Bob Riebe; 28 Jun 2004 at 04:35. |

These days they run on 110 RON racing fuel.
Over here, we have to use 102 RON, so compression ratios are lower. Most of the sport has to run on 98RON in Europe, so lower still. Rob. |
