Your maths needs work. Serious work.
On that chart you quote
29,700 is not 80% of 48,000 ??
And thats ethanol compared to gasoline.
Thats only ~60%.
Methanol has a stoichiometric ratio of about 6.5:1, and ethanol is about 9:1 to 10:1 so is much closer to petrol/gasoline as a fuel.
If you'd bothered to look at the data set I linked to, which shows methanol, ethanol and gasoline all on the same chart,
then methanol is almost neatly half the energy of gasoline.
Explosives factories, tubes of gunpowder ????
We seem to have diverged here somewhat.
Methanol is synthesized from hydrocarbons, although technically is termed an alcohol.
Nitro fuel isn't normally associated with petrol burning engines, but is in methanol fuelled engines ??
