its a very small amount jake, not 25-30%. i know, because i aint carrying around a massive tank of methanol with me in my boot, be way to inconvenient for the street. the sh1t is pretty toxic for ur body too. and i dont reckon pwr would be down anywhere near 20% on 98 ron either. 20% is a fair bit. that's a drop of over 150hp. to me, the methanol is just a small additive, maybe alikened to using octane booster in my opinion. and no one would give 2 sh1ts if u were throwin that in the tank. if it was like a 50/50 mix, or close to that, then i would agree with u. and yes, 8 ball is on like donkey kong, this time we'll play 25-30 game marathon.

Those points you make are exactly what I was thinking....if it was a 30-50% mix you'd need a farkin massive drum in the boot with you at all times...ridiculous...I think its just a more cost effective way to boost octane rating...who wants to spend $20 on a good bottle of octane booster that doesnt achieve the same results and doesnt go as far....meh...

what's the octane rating of methanol? Must be through the roof if 110+ is achieved with just a little bit... Why not use E85?
