1,197 miles per gallon on ethanol blend

July 22, 2011 |

In Denmark, Inbicon was the ethanol supplier for the winning car in the Urban Concepts class of the 2011 Shell Eco-marathon in Europe, setting a new record at 1,197 miles per gallon (509 km/l), adjusted for energy equivalence with gasoline.

The New Ethanol, as Inbicon calls its made-from-straw biofuel, has been produced by the Kalundborg plant since late 2009. But this was its first performance with the Danish university team.   Dynamo, the winning entrant,  ran 28% farther than its closest competitor.
