Uh, the question is about F1, not those POS backbreaking crapwagons the IRL calls racing cars. And, please, get a grip on reality. The Honda IRL engine isn't pulling anything near 20,000 rpm; their engines are rev-limited in the 10,500 rpm neighborhood.F1 cars use unleaded gasoline which must comply with EU standards and cannot contain any additives not found in commercial gasolines for road cars.
Champ Car uses methanol. The IRL has used methanol in the past (and has never used gasoline), but went to a 10% ethanol/90% methanol blend in 2006 and will run 100% ethanol in 2007.
