more power to you....

one thing I have noticed is that the people who have replied dont live in the Northeast....

like I said before and I will say it again and again till it sinks in.... prices vary by region, and the majority people I know of up here pay like $11/$12 a gallon, even vendors are paying that much and are contacting me for some supplies....

so if it makes you feel better by coming here and saying "thats too expensive" or "I pay .50 cents per gallon your prices are too much", then can you come up with a better solution for those of us who are paying more and help us out?

I live in the North east and yes,thoes prices are High,as everyone has posted.
There are alot of Go-Cart racing tracks up here and Methanol can easily be had there in small amounts and can be bought from several Home Heating oil companies in my area for less than $175.00 for 55 gallon drums(deposit included on drum) and we are talking either V/P meth or Power Mist Meth for those prices so I guess that Location,Location,Location has nothing to do with it.

I pay ~$5/gal directly from PowerMist. Their manufacturing plant is right there in Newton, NJ. Drive there and you don't even have to pay shipping. Its only like 1 1/2 hrs from NYC.

PURTY MUCH. don't start screaming at me because i mention you are trying to pull a fast one. Methanol comes from VP or powermist and it doesnt vary much by region at all.

Wait... VP Meth comes out to around like 2 or so a galon. THe only time you pay 11-12 is if you go to home depot and buy that gallon jug. Do a search for Vendors selling meth. Last one I checked was gonna be about 180 for the 55 drum. So thats around 3 a gallon,

true but when you drive there you do have to pay for the gas that goes in your car....not to mention time/tolls etc depending on where you are coming from...

I wasnt screaming, otherwise I'd type in caps.

Anyhow, I pulled my post here and will make my offer locally and by word of mouth. My intentions were to help people local to me who couldnt get this stuff that cheaply.

Then I get people from other states and other regions of the US coming in here ready to hang me...

I called VP last week, they told me ~$50 for a 5 gal can, plus ~$60 shipping. I don't know what the hell they're thinking. haha
