Methanol first surfaced as a potentially interesting transportation fuel in the wake of the oil crisis in 1973. There is no strong advocacy for methanol (unlike ethanol) as a transportation fuel; therefore, they said, it has been displaced by ethanol as oxygenate of choice in gasoline blends. It is a safe fuel.
