It has less btu than gasoline but it has a higher vaporization rate.It makes more power because you can feed more to the engine.It is true that for a methanol carb starting jet sizes would be about double[or more] in size of a gas carb.Dont know too much about ethanol but I know we better come up with an alternative fuel pretty soon.Switching from gas to methanol yeilds 15 to 20% HP increase.A slower flame speed of methanol requires more ign. advance.The good thing is you can cheat in a little nitromethane to alcohol fuels adding nitro to gas will slow you down and stink you out.All this has little to add to the original discussion.Oh well.
