Methanol Gas Mixture

One of my customers was in need of Methanol for his water injection system on his airplane. So he bought 55 gallons of it and only used like 10. So I have 45 Gallons of Pure Methanol to play with. My car has a 20 gallon fuel tank. I put 19 gal of 93 Octane and 1 gallon of Methanol. That makes a 5% mixture. The engine on my car has a known problem of running WAAAAAAYYY too rich above 5,000 RPM's. Alcohol requires about 40-50% more volume to run normal. So the end result is that the car runs leaner even though it's using the same volume of fuel. I get slightly less MPG per tank, but 93 octane turns into Approximately 97 Octane. Maybe I did my math wrong, but thats what I figured. Anyone else try it?
