three points to remember:

the extra water picked up by methanol is VERY bad for injectors, they
can wear much more quickly with methanol.

the alcohol will dissolve all the junk off the walls of any fuel tank it
sits in (including the underground station tanks) so that you can
totally screw up your fuel system if it is switched to methanol after
long use with straight gasoline. (never use gas from a station that
switched to methanol within a few days to a week of when you need it
unless they also put in new storage tanks!)

Rx-7's should NEVER use methanol (nor should any other wankel powered
car). the methanol will destroy the apex seals.
