I thought I could buy a gallon of 30%

Do you have any idea what the other 70% is? Take a guess.
Hint: It doesn't burn.

My 30% Cool Power is supposed to be 30% nitro, 22% oil, and the rest
methanol. I'm guessing you thought I meant a gallon of 30% methanol with
70% water? For my model car sport fuel I thought I might try 10% nitro, 16%
oil (may be revised between now and then, some use 9% oil in racing), and
the remainder methanol.
