To my surprise, I found methanol here, locally 70$ / 5gal. I should start reading about methanol injection and its benefits
thanks for the idea

Just read that methanol doesn't offer any gains over E85, and E85 is much cheaper and available on gas pumps here :in_doubt:

You can buy methanol at home depot, lowes, and almost all paint stores.

Fortunately, I work in a lab, so I can get the purest of pure MeOH.
