That's how much good quality race methanol costs. Usually circa £75 for 19L.
Cheap commercial grade methanol is a fraction of the cost, but you'd be a lot better running proper stuff. Better yet just use race fuel if an extra few Bhp is so important.
Methanol is horrible stuff, I certainly wouldn't be using some old stuff thats in an old rusty drum. Sod that!

Default Meth

from memory meth shouldn’t be in metal containers as it corrodes it
thats why you need to only add it to your fuel mix then use
them add normal fuel again
shouldntnt be left in tank and fuel system
( from memory )
