It has a higher octane level, thus can handle more pressure/heat than gasoline without autoignition. Not sure about other information.

You can make your own methyl if you have consumable wood around. There's recipes for it online all over. IIRC, it's part of the soap making process. Methylene has slightly different characteristics from Ethylene, but is similar.
