Actually, Methanol is already a very common high-proformance fuel. I'm not only technology literate :-> I'm also a race car driver, and I have a few 55gal. drums of methanol in my shop right now. We syphon by mouth, and it's not like Anthrax or anything. As far as combustability, it's flash point is higher than paper and plastic, so the container that's holding it and the stuff around it would probobly catch on fire before it did. It's used in IC engines, because when pressurized, it's flash point plummets and it has a greater explosive point than gasoline. Note that when it does burn it burns hot and almost invisibly.
