How scary is gasohol?

"Adding alcohol to gasoline dramatically increases the ambient temperature
where ice forms. Evaporating methyl alcohol creates a temperature drop of
300 degrees F. As a result, carburetor ice occurs over a wide range of
temperatures."

Nobody seems to have mentioned this. Alcohol is not good in aircraft engines
where there is any chance of it causing the engine to stop!

The problem with that quote is that ethyl alcohol is what's blended with gas,
not methyl alcohol.

you look forward to the trip.

So, what sort of temperature drop does Ethyl alcohol cause, and how does it
affect carby icing?

I tend to think that it still may affect icing.
