What is everybody paying for Methanol?
 

Just got a quote for $35 for a 5 gallon container. That is about $! per gallon for finished bio. Sounds a little pricey.

OK OK NOT as pricey as #2 diesel mind you. but is $7 per gallon the going rate??/

$7 is very expensive. It should be in the $5-6 range.

$5.62/gallon, $5.45 if you buy two.

I paid $190/drum with tax about 3 weeks ago. They said prices would be going down again on the next shipment. So i'm hoping for ~$160 pre tax range this week

Even $190 is great. We paid $284 for the last drum we bought. That's $5.18 a gallon....

My last barrel was right at $200 including tax. That was about 2 months ago.

I'm payiong $3.55 a gallon right now.:D

There is a place here in VT that sells it for something like that, may even be more. Then you can get a 55 gallon drum for like $215 near Rutland VT.

4 bucks a gallon in tampa

i got mine 2 weeks ago for $230/barrel in Warwick RI

who is selling it? Ward Oil? $4 a gallon seems decent.. I remember buying a drum of methanol for $120 a drum....but that is because like.. ten of use would buy them at the same time for a volume discount.

anyone know where to get Methanol on LI in NY?

Isn't methanol racing fuel? Can't you go to the racetrack and buy some?

If anyone's making biodiesel around the central florida area I would like to see how it's done. I'm really starting to think I might make biodiesel myself.

Danny, on tuesday a couple of my friends are coming over to learn how to make biodiesel from me. One of them lives in Orlando and if all goes well wants to start a Co-op. If you are free tuesday, let me know and I will let you know when to come over

I'm going to be in Atlanta on Tuesday. I work during the day anyway. Maybe sometime on a weekend?

sure, I will let you know about the proposed co-op when it comes to fruition
