There are absolutely advantages to white gasoline though:
1. Inexpensive. A canister of gas costs generally around $5.00 for 100g. The equivalent amount of white gasoline? Around $0.30.

The way it's going it won't be for long, Coleman fuel has already gone to $20 per gallon, used to be $8-ish a couple years ago.
Bulk naphtha is cheaper from what I hear but most people don't have a source for it (and I've looked).
