You are right. In fact gasoline has around twice the energy (per Kg) of methanol. Lots of crap about "purity" of nitromethane not to mention the whole issue of fuel storage etc. Although the article did have some good information about fuels, it was a tough go to separate the gems from the junk.

Heat of combustion [kJ/kg]
19,930 Methanol
43,030 Gasoline
