Methanol (methyl alcohol or wood alcohol) is a potential automotive fuel, either pure or mixed with gasoline. Some fleet vehicles, such as municipal buses, have been modified to burn metha- nol containing fuels. These fuels are also used by some race cars. An automobile, modified to use a mixture of 85.0% methanol and 15.0% gasoline by mass as a fuel, gets 25.5 miles per gallon of fuel. The fuel has a density of 0.775 g/mL, methanol has a density of 0.787 g/mL, and gasoline has a density of 0.703 g/mL. How many km could this automobile drive on the mixed fuel, if you are limited by your supply of 20.0 L of methanol
