which is why I didn't buy from VP racing fuels. They are high in price and their delivery is astronomical due to hazardous chemical.
It it may have been more than $2.50. I bought 10 gallons back in February. But it definitely wasn't more than $3.
I have methanol in bulk at work and we pay $1.60 per gallon. But I'm not gonna steal from work, not worth losing my job.

How long is the methanol lasting for you guys? In other words, how long does buying a given amount last? I realize that will vary greatly depending on how often the car is driven and the driving style...but I'll take whatever info anyone wants to share...

I get roughly 3 years/ 6-7 month season out of a 55 gallon drum using twin 15gph nozzles.
