“Methanol is pretty toxic on it's own.”

Methanol is better stuff to spill in your pack that petroleum fuel. It evaporates fast and doesn’t eat up your fabric. Also you would have to swim in the stuff to get the toxic effects. However, it’s natural to play it safe and not spill the stuff all over you.

“Ethanol gives you more BTUs per weight..”

It’s not worth the cost.
