I use nitro for my rc cars and on the side of the bottle it says 99% methanol and thats 20$ per gallon so im sure its got to be cheaper than that. But does any one know the cost? and weres the cheapest/best place to get it? dragstrips, racetracks? hotrod shops?
thanks guys.
Whoa! Isn't methanol by itself highly flammable? Maybe she should consider a Taurus bifuel E85 engine car.
