Octane will largely depend on how much methanol is injected in relation to total fuel consumption. In our application, effective octane will probably be quite a bit higher than 96oct. And on top of that, there is a big volumetric efficiency bump caused by the intake air temp reduction that methanol provides when it vaporizes. Something that you don't get with race gas. So the octane is only half of the picture.
