VP M1 meth

metalheadinky · 05-16-2008, 03:02 AM

I have my car tuned using vp m1 race meth. I wanted to know if anyone has been finding it cheaper than what we can get here in Ky? For 5 gallons and including shipping is $250. I hope for those costs that vp race fuel is the best out their. Anyone else using vp m1?

there is no way methanol is $50 a gallon, not even VP Import is that expensive, who did you contact.

Sure it didnt say 54 gallons? You should pay around 5-7 bucks a gallon for M1 depending on the size drum you are getting and what type of drum it is.

Unless of course there's a $200 hazmat charge to ship 5 gallons of M1... Then it would make sense

Only way to get the huge "hazmat" shipping charge is if it goes by air ground shippers only charge a few extra bucks depending on the state and some companies will add on a handling few but nothing around 200

I contacted a vp distributor near Ky. They were located in In. He told me that shipping was going to be every bit of $150; he also gave me some places that sell m1 near me so I called them. One place which is a drag strip was selling it at $250 for 5 gallons. The other place couldnt get a quote unless they called and placed an order.

Sounds like the drag strip was talking about Nitro Methane, not Methanol. You should go the Walmart route and get the windshield washer fluid stuff. I just bought Meth from a race shop in my local area, and it was a little over $30 for 5 gallons.

frankly 30 bucks for 5 gallons is ok. One gallon of meth will last me about a month. To pay more than 7-8 dollars peer gallon would be stupid, yo should go to the drag strip guy and smack him

Damn thats really expensive. I just picked up 5 gallon meth F&L for 35 bucks.
If you have no source for meth, I suggest you order Snow boost juice from summitracing.com. Shipping is free, you only pay a $10 handling fee no matter how big your order is.

Yeah dude there is no way its Meth. Like Tapout stated Nitro Methane sounds like more like it and it usually $65 a gallon so the price they gave you if it is for Nitro is actually a good deal..

But for Meth 5 gallons usually is about 35-40 bucks depending on the Meth what lubricants it has which brand etc etc. For $250 that would get you a 55 Gallon Drum. Here is a link for you
