That's not quite right, gas just doesn't react with the glow plug coil to keep it red hot. Only methanol can do that.
Gas in fact liberates more heat per pound than methanol does but when you have the correct mixture then you're burning a lot more methanol. That's where it gives the extra HP and the extra fuel consumption.
