Default Anyone here use Heet?

I just got my AIS methanol kit and I am having trouble finding a local source for methanol that isn't outrageously priced. I see that autozone carries Heet and it is 100% methyl alcohol.
Anybody use this stuff? I will be running with no water mixture and was wondering if there would be a down side to running Heet?

I use it. I don't want 5 gals of Meth sittin in my garage. I've found Heet for $1.23 at Wal Mart. I make a mix of 30% in windshield washer fluid. One gal mix will last me quite a while.

I've used it quite a few times while on road trips. It's methanol.
