Re: Ethanol VS. Methanol (Bryson)
Doesn't directly answer ure question, just info...Ethanol, as an additive, burns with a higher fuel effeciency than MTBE when in used in reg gasoline. It's not necessarily cleaner burning, but its much easier to clean ethanol up in the environment than it is with MTBE

Re: Ethanol VS. Methanol (Trac226)
Methanol has 9800 BTU/LB and 6.4:1 AF ratio and Ethanol has 12,800 BTU/LB and 9.0:1 AF ratio. Ethanol is also almost a pound heavier per gallon.
