Methanol Injection Cobalts!

Just curious how much methanol you guys are consuming per TANK of gas.

I didnt want to use timeframe since we all travel different distances in a week. I just want to see the median of meth-heads.

60/40

denatured alcohol / water

130 octane ftw

You should also post your meth mix as well, so we can gather some more information from it.

not really worth it.... 15.00 gallon for the stuff is fail compared to 2-3 for methanol.

I use less than a gallon for sure, I use just straight winshield washer mix, like a 45-55mix on 89 octane fuel. I think my total octane might be like 93 or something.

97 is closer. I know with pure methanol with 87 = 104.

Yes i burn 1-2 gallons per tank... 1/2 gallon if im easy on it. I use a MAF activation controller that is set from 6900-9000 full blown with a 3gph nozzle. I drive pretty hard usually.

oh cmon we can get some more votes.... this is killing me.

It takes me about 5/6 weeks if not longer to run through a 1.5 gallon take of meth. Right now my mixture ratio is 70/30.

I use just windshield wiper fluid and depending on how often my foot is in it, I generally use between 1/4th of a gallon to a 1/2 gallon at the most. I have a 1 gallon trunk mounted devils own kit progressive kit, and I enjoy it quite a bit.

i go through about a quart in 2 tanks. most of what i do is freeway driving, i just have my fun moments on the on ramps. i am however experimenting with dropping fuel grades so ill probly turn the meth activation point down a bit so its on sooner.

i use a 50/50 mix of methalhydrate (its just another name for methanol) and distilled water. im able to buy a gallon of pure methal hydrate for about $6, so it doesnt really cost me any more than a just of -45 washer fluid.
