Default Methanol substitute?

So my first road trip with a meth dependent car got me thinking, what’s a good emergency meth substitute? Maybe not perfect but better than nothing just to get around on as even “normal” tickles the boost a bit....

Washer fluid? Rubbing alcohol? Vodka? Nothing denatured I believe, so no Home Depot paint aisle alcohol.

Thoughts?

Heet, windshield wahser fluid or even just water depending on how much you are spraying.

Or just don't floor it .

You only use meth when in boost so it should not be an issue because you won’t use meth on long trips unless you drive like a lunatic. Yellow HEET, available at most auto stores, is a good substitute.

no comment 😉 In all serious, it’s probably just range anxiety, I’ve only had this setup for a few days and I have no idea how long it will last.

If you’re really paranoid, you can refill a gallon bottle of windshield washer fluid with meth and keep it in the trunk.

Meth last a long long time .I typically fill up a little at each oil change. Worryimg about it would be like packing oil to change your oil on the trip
