I don't believe that will happen. IF Gasoline ever gets to $10 a gallon it
will make ETHANOL the fuel of choice. It SHOULD have happened years ago. I
used to work in a shop that specialized in Alky (Methanol) big block chevys.
The engines ran VERY clean, no carbon like gas. Hard to start when cold,
needed to give em a squirt of gas down the injectors some times. High
octane, we ran 13 to one or more if we could. Didn't Kalifornia have an
"Alky for the street" program a few years back? Wonder what happened to it?

Hmmm....
