Last night the mercury dipped well below freezing and I decided to do a test – switch my usual regular denatured alcohol to Everclear – 190proof alcohol. Amazingly, stove lit at 15F, boiled in 11min and burned for 40 minutes on 1.5 ounces of fuel.
That's insane. 
Everclear 190 proof is about 94% ethanol the rest is water.
In Australia the available from supermarkets (non drinkable) Methylated Spirit is usually 95% Ethanol so about the same (under $4 per liter)
That is why some alcohol stove reports don't match others.

About the only backpacking item that is less expensive here than there.
