    Default Dry Gas--which is better?

    It is that time of year again when it is a good idea to use dry gas. I can't remember, which is better, the isopropyl (yellow bottle) or methanol (red bottle) variety? Does anyone here know?

    If there's ethanol in the gas you buy, then dry gas is unnecessary.
