San Antonio, TX (February 1, 2023) - VP Racing Fuels, Inc., regarded worldwide as the leader in racing, performance fuel products, and branded retail, announced today that it is accelerating its renewable fuel initiative with the launch of EcoGen™, a family of ethanol-free gasolines with up to 10% renewable content.
EcoGen is the Non-Alcohol Alternative to Ethanol and Butanol-based fuels found at the pump. VP Racing is launching this gasoline with up to 10% renewable content for the Texas market this spring to help meet the demand for higher-octane cleaner burning fuels for the recreational marine and off-road markets. Expansion into the southern Gulf States to follow.
"We are excited to launch this new innovation from VP," said Alan Cerwick, VP Racing's President & CEO. "With our experience in developing over 80 race fuels, our chemists applied their expertise to solving a problem and answering a need. Innovation is what VP is all about."
EcoGen from VP offers impressive advantages -
- Improved fuel economy (higher energy content than standard pump gas)
- Great for marine use (low water affinity)
- Up to 10% renewable content
- Reduced tailpipe pollutant emissions
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Friendly on fuel system components (no ethanol corrosion)
VP Racing's EcoGen is perfect for high-performance cars and motorcycles, high-performance boats, small engines such as lawn equipment, all power sports vehicles, ATVs/UTVs, jet skis, side-by-sides, and more.
