Isn't that still available as "Coleman" fuel for stoves and lanterns?

I used it in my car in an emergency once and while it ran, let me tell
you that Camaro 350 engine didn't like it! I ran outta gas on the
freeway and had to go about a mile to a gas station. It worked but
pinged a LOT. Careful use of the go-pedal kept it to a minimum and I
tanked up with good fuel ASAP. I wouldn't try it with the new fuel
injected cars but it worked on that Rochester fuel leak just fine.
