Sounds like I need to move to where you live.

Methanol runs about $12/gallon, coleman fuel $19/gallon, kerosene $14. I wonder if it's because I live in an urban area, they figure they can charge whatever they want and the clueless/choiceless urbanites will pay for it.


Those prices are about the going rate here also. In a few weeks though, stores start putting kerosene and Coleman fuel on sale to get rid of summer stock and usually there is substantial price drop, especially for the Coleman fuel.
