1 gallon of supertech which is 40% methanol Per the MSDS sheet plus 2 bottle of gas line antifreeze, windshield washer consentrate or Heet will get you your 50/50 mix.

BAD

"If you have a local supply of methanol and want to mix your own injection fluid, use distilled water. Tap water has many minerals that can clog your injection system overtime
Most window washer fluids of the -20F to -25F contain on average 30-36% methanol and can be used with your injection system. To increase the volume of methanol, mix 2-3 of the yellow 12oz bottles of HEET gas line antifreeze. HEET is about 98% methanol.
DO NOT use any window washer fluids of the -30F or -40F that are not blue as most contain propylene glycol (anti-freeze) that will be harmful to your engine. Also washer fluids with a freezing point greater then -20F will contain very little methanol.
Denatured Alcohol:
I have not done any testing with this, but it is available at most hardware stores and is a mixture of Methanol and Ethanol and can be mixed 50/50 by volume with water. Note that ethanol is more prone to evaporation then methanol so the octane benefit of this type of mixture will decrease over time.

So, with the Walmart stuff, do you add water to it, like I was doing, or just run it straight out of the jug? I was diluting it down with an equal part of water, still could do 15 psi with 87 octane.

I found blue Supertech -40 windshield washer fluid at Wallmart, will it work just as good as the -20? Just wondering because I can't find -20 up here.

Thanks

Other option is to just by methanol and mix with water. As cheap as/cheaper than washer fluid, guaranteed not to have any other chemicals(dyes, detergents etc), no guess work. No reason you couldn't also use such a mix to clean your windshield.

Chilliwack, B.C. I never did try that stuff, still have 2 jugs. I run methyl hydrate now, 1 1/2 litres mixed with 1 litre water. I'm still waiting for D.O. external thread nozzles so I can bump my injector up one size...
