    The document compares the energy content and fuel efficiency of gasoline, a 10% methanol-gasoline mixture known as gasohol, and pure methanol. It shows that gasohol contains 94.9% of the energy of pure gasoline but results in slightly lower fuel efficiency, getting 1.2-1.3 miles per gallon compared to 1.1-1.3 mpg for gasoline. Pure methanol has much lower energy content and fuel efficiency, getting only around half a mile per gallon.
