methanol is much cheaper and dependant on mix can give a better bang for your buck. Jennycem do 200 litre drums for about £130. your mix would need to have it's own map.

aside from bhp gain, massive increase in torque when i used it. 15bhp increase but 40l/bfts of torque so opposite to what most get lol.

edit: 15% mix
