BTW the stuff we sell is NOT pre-mixed. If you don't add water to it, it could take the paint off your car.

well I stand corrected, even the VP stuff is only 99.5% pure I think
Most people dilute 50/50 anyway with pure meth/distilled since water is a much better heat supressor than meth is, so the addivities will only be .25%
How much is a gallon?

8 bottles=1 gallon
$3.87 X 8 = $30.96 per gallon, plus sales tax
Well, I guess you can use it in a pinch, but it's just not cost-effective. Even at my employee discount price, it comes out to $21.20 per gallon plus tax! Well, like I said earlier, it sounded good in theory.

brake fluid can take paint off too but we still use it 
water is a good knock depression as well but it can cause corrotion and it's not combustable like alchohol/meth is..
