seems odd, isn't ethanol/methanol the main ingredient in gas deicer?

Yes. But you don't fill your tank with 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.
Just a few ounces of ethanol every now and then to emulsify any water,
if you think you might have some. At those very low concentrations
ethanol won't be a problem. However 85% is a whole nuther issue.

ok, so we have people in an uproar about the addition of ethanol, but no
hard facts about what amounts is harmful.

20%?

percentages from 5% to 85%
