I am jst wondering how much methanol cost in the US. My local

What you want is an inert gas (if tailpipe emissions were inert smog
wouldn't be much of an issue.) Plain air would be better than exhaust

Well I need some advice. I reprocessed and got 3 layers: A dark

That is a lot cheaper than I have found in Seattle - $2.65/gallon for 55 gal
