Yes they were. IIRC, methanol yields even fewer BTUs than ethanol, but both are well behind gasoline in that regard, which was something that just struck me as odd back then, given the capabilities of the trailered-in cars that used alcohol.
To this day I am a sucker for an alcohol-fueled, Hilborn-injected nostalgia drag car, but I don't want Big Brother mandating it in my vehicles.

Yeah, same here. My V8 runs like crap on the stuff and I’m subsidizing it with my tax dollars too. Talk about getting screwed seven ways to Sunday...
