The distance from the methanol load to the gas station matters. If is short, the mixture will suck. Tests have shown up to 50% methanol per tankful.
Methanol???
Yeah, I am a dork. I was thinking about the kind you drink!

The funny thing is I knew something was wrong when I typed it and yet I did nothing!

Of course, I should have said ethanol.
