Default Question on meth purchasing

I did some research and noticed there isn't really a local convenient place I can just go pick up a 5 gallon pale. I think I am going to just order online and have it shipped. Can't get much more convenient then that anyway.

I noticed the VP1 - is $48

And the Torco one is almost twice the price at $84.. Is there any reason for this??

If not I will just start ordering from VP - Thanks guys

The VP M1 seems to be the most commonly used.

call are check in your town OIL co, more than not they can get you a 55 gal drum in on the next shipping they have coming in. This is what I did when I ran the c5 with the meth on the car.

I know that is more cost effective but I don't go through that much since it only sprays under a certain amount of boost and i dont like the idea of a 55 gallon drum in my garage of that stuff .

Often, your local Drag Strip will have methanol for sale. The one I occasionally go to in Cedar Falls, IA has it for sale at around $2 -$3 a gallon. Remember, it absorbs water easily (condensation) so make sure the top is sealed.

Problem is the closest track to me (englishtown) is still about an hour and fifteen away. I can pick some up when I am down there though and order the rest through online. Thanks guys.
