The Cost of Filling Up a MotoGP Motorbike with Gasoline and Changes in Fuel Regulations: What You Need to Know

Jakarta –

MotoGP motorbikes have the best technology to be the fastest in this most prestigious race. MotoGP motorbikes can reach more than 360 km/hour. How much does it cost to fill a full tank of petrol on a MotoGP motorbike?

Site Tuttomotoriweb provides a simulation of calculating the cost of filling up full petrol for a MotoGP motorbike. According to the rules, the amount of fuel that can be used during the race is limited to 22 liters.

Based on the current fuel price in Europe, which is approximately equivalent to IDR 30 thousand per liter, filling up a full MotoGP motorbike with gasoline costs more than 40 euros or the equivalent of IDR 668 thousand.

“However, the team has a special agreement (with sponsors) to obtain favorable conditions. The practical price will be lower than traditional gas stations,” said Tuttomotoriweb.

Through an illustrative video, MotoGP explains the gasoline used by motorbikes in MotoGP races. Gasoline for MotoGP motorbikes has a high research octane number (RON). If the average daily motorbike uses petrol with RON 95 and below, MotoGP motorbikes need even higher octane.

“In MotoGP, racing motorbikes require gasoline with RON up to 102,” said MotoGP.

You see, a higher RON is needed for high engine compression. High RON is also more suitable for engines that are often driven to high engine speeds. It is known that the maximum RPM of MotoGP motorbikes is much higher than daily motorbikes.

For the MotoGP class, teams are allowed to use gasoline from various fuel suppliers. Each team has its own fuel made specifically for MotoGP bikes.

MotoGP has a target to reduce and even no longer use fossil fuels. Starting in 2024, at least 40% of fuel in all MotoGP classes will come from non-fossil sources. By 2027, fuel in all MotoGP classes will come from 100% non-fossil sources.
