While it would be entertaining to let this thread continue as is, there's one really important item you've totally failed to take into account. And that's the amount of alcohol OF ANY TYPE that the car's fuel system was designed to handle from the factory.

IIRC most auto MFG'rs rate their cars for not more than 10% ethanol as a total of the fuel mix, and/ or 6~8% methanol. Any more than that and you risk damaging sensors and system seals. Vehicles set up for E85 are rated for that percentage running only ethanol; methanol is not recommended and will most likely void any warranty.

Play around if you want; just do't try to claim we said it was A.O.K.

Generally water meth is used to combat pre detonation, even on nitrous cars. I doubt you'll see any tangible gains if you don't have a detonation problem. You could actually cause yourself issues due to the extra fuel (methanol) affecting your fuel trims when active causing your fuel map to have to relearn everytime you use it.

Did you think you were actually talking to a creature with minimal human intelligence? Talk to the wall...to the hand...to the toilet....he doesn't listen and can't comprehend....:surrender:
