methanol is cheaper than standard pump petrol if you buy it in reasonably large quantities.

i was researching biodiesel and got lots of prices, some places are quite expensive.

this place seemed to be the cheapest:

Redox chemicals

http://www.redox.com

they sell it in 160kg drums, which is about 200L

1 drum: $1.58/kg
2 drums: $1.10/kg
4+ drums $0.90/kg

you shouldn't have any trouble buying it

i'd be looking at trying to let the methanol touch as little rubber as possible. it won't be very nice to it.

if you are you are using the methanol as a "supplementry" fuel to get more power and/or reduce detonation then i'd go nitromethane/methanol blend instead of straight methanol.

methanol has a RON somewhere around 140-150 from memory wheres nitromethane is up round 220.
im pretty sure it creates its own oxygen when it burns so pretty much: the more you can get into the combustion chamber the better! of course you will have to have an engine and management system capable of handling all this.
oh, and i don't remember nitro being cheap.... think $20 a litre or something
