And I assume you're aware that methanol has about 60% the energy
content per gallon of gasoline? Factor that in, add about 40 cents a
gallon in tax, and Methanol as a fuel only starts to make sense at
prices equal to today's gas price. Like ethanol, it could help
lessen our dependence on oil, but it's not a cheap, quick fix. Also,
methanol is highly toxic, which is one big reason the focus has been
on ethanol.
