    You could always order it from one of the injection websites. I think it sells for 15 a gallon pre mixed. Which is crazy. Lol

      Yeah...that's ridiculous, lol. It's definitely under $4 a gallon buying a single drum. Probably half that if you own a drum and can find a pump (or I have seen it as high as close to $3 that way). And that's full strength. So $15 a gallon for 50/50 is like a 600+% markup if they are buying by the drum.

        Looked it up. Bulk methanol pricing right now is $1.05 per gallon. So it should be under $2 a gallon if you have a methanol pump near you and buy at their bulk rate. The place I go to get mine takes 50 cents per gallon off if you are buying 20+ gallons. They mark it up a lot more for guys who are just coming to buy 5 gallons.

          What Zeph said. Sometimes they have methanol at municipal airports too. Most VP fuel places have it in little 5 gallons tins, but it's much cheaper if you buy it at or around a drag strip. The fuel and alky guys burn a ton of the stuff.

            The shop less then a 1/4 mile away from my house will sell it to me at 3.50$ per single gallon and cheaper if i buy more at once. Plus they said call during normal hours and i can arrange for Saturday pickup! Ill take it!

            I guess in a pinch i could do the walmart washer fluid.

            Has anyone actually ran washer fluid? Just wanting to know if i ever need to go that route.

              Washer fluid isn't ideal, but it works. But you have to make sure it's a brand that actually uses methanol as the antifreeze. And typically look for the 30 below stuff (which I think is 30%ish). I just think of all the nasty residue it leaves if you spill it and let it dry. That ends up inside your engine. Heet in the red bottles is pure methanol, I believe. Of course you're looking at like $2-3 for a 12oz bottle of it, so that ends up being like $30 a gallon.

                Stay away from washer fluid. It fouls spark plugs. Even the 30 below stuff has a very low concentration of methanol and there is a soap in it that likes to glaze plugs. I learned that the hard way.
                Red Heet is isopropyl I think, but it works pretty well. Rubbing alcohol works in a pinch. Heck, I ran half a race weekend on Tanguerey once, it smelled awesome.
