Why? Why? why not ?

OK i have been really bored at work and thought it would be a good idea to read all the 3rd gen archives (LOL yes i am REALLY bored) so anyways one of the posts was about max psi to obviously get max hp whether fuel and all that jazz was modified, so every one was going on about more fuel more fuel, well what i am actually going on about is that no1 on the forum has mentioned methanol.... ? why not ? here in south africa we use methanol to up the octane of the fuel, like i drive a turbocharged piston (puke) car and well safe on regular 97 octane fuel i can run 1 bar(not sure of psi rating) and then like i can add a few injectors and run loads of methanol and up that boost to like 1.7 bar boost, so like my question is why doesn't anyone do that or even mentioned it ?

I just went and found out the conversion for psi and bar, well i run 14psi (1 bar boost) and with loads of methanol i can run 24psi (1.7 bar boost) so my question still stands why doesn't any1 use methanol ? or even suggested it ?
