wow thats pricey, wonder how much they charge for shipping.
I assumed they also charge you for the drum cost. Which isnt cheap.
Ever tried looking for one locally? I didnt know we have a race gas place around here untill i was looking at other cheaper alternatives for boost juice.
Now I drive 10 minutes away and fill up my 5 gallon container for abour $3-4 a gallon.

I'm just going to mix a couple quarts of BOOSTane in each tank which gets me 98 octane and run 50/50 meth also. Spoke with the guys at BOOSTane yesterday seems like really good people and product.

over here in the UK 99.9% pure methanol chemical/medical grade methanol is cheaper than any pump fuel ! ( only caveat there is our pump fuel is ******* expensive with race fuels 5x the price of that !! )
Why are people saying methanol is so expensive over in the US ? If anything it should be dirt cheap too
M1 is $8 a gallon roughly for a 54 gallon drum or $400 total. 87 pump is $1.79/gallon right now or $$179 for 100 gallon drum. 93 is only $2.29/gallon so it's still much cheaper than M1. How does this not equate out as cheaper than M1? So eccentially M1 is 4 times as expensive as 93 octane.
your pump gas must be stupid $$ or your country has found a super cheap way to produce 99% pure meth.
BTW M1 over hear is 99% pure but it's made by a racing company called VP fuels.

Jeeesus.
A 40gal or 205litre drum of methanol from a local chemical supplier to me is around £160, ie £0.80 per litre
Although they dont always sell to the public. If you buy 1000L cube it gets even cheaper.
Or an egay example...even cheaper again

A gallon of 93PON petrol ( imperial gallon, 4.55 litres ) is around £5.46, ie £1.20 per litre, 91 is a little cheaper.
Race fuel, here is one UK supplier along with prices. Astronomical is one word to describe, but prices are same all over the UK

So again....what is the difference between this M1 methanol at huge prices vs the other 99.9% pure methanol from chemical suppliers ?

Never run over 1%, afraid of poisoning my wideband O2 sensors.
Anybody know just how much AvGas is safe to run ?
.
So far 1 gallon per hundred has not caused me grief, but that is only bringing me up to 87.1 octane, which aint much improved.
