Up to 15 percent methanol can be added to gasoline in current cars, without adjustment of the engine, and with noticeable improvement in exhaust quality, economy and performance. Methanol has an octane rating of 106, compared to typical gasolines of 85 to 100. It prevents knocking or "pinging" common with unleaded fuels, and it alleviates "running on" or "dieseling" when the ignition is switched off.
Adding 5 gallons to a 19 gallon (tanks) goes over the line. I wouldnt do it.

What would be cool is if you could seperate the two fuel tanks and just use the left tank for gasoline. Fill the RH tank thru the trunk with nitro methane. Also, maybe hydrazine in the windshield washer tank, for a rainy day. Nothin' but a big red switch on the end of the shifter.

Doesn't do anything without a power adder with adjustable boost to take advantage of add'l octane, or timing adjuster.
