I run a race car on methanol. There's reasons why we don't use it for civilian pedestrian use cases. Number one your eyes immediately start burning from the combustion gases. Secondly the hygroscopic nature of it leads to corrosion.

Yeah and if you’re running individual zoomies you take a shower if it’s running rich. Gotta be careful though as it sometimes is hard to tell if something is on fire because it burns so clean.
