Isn't old-school Coleman stove/lantern fuel (aka "white gasoline") also
naphtha? If I remember correctly, Coleman's official position is that the
fuel burns cleaner than regular unleaded gasoline because it doesn't have
the additives and cracked hydrocarbons in it that can leave residue. Your
local WalMart may carry "Ozark Trails" brand Coleman-compatible fuel, if you
want to save a few additional bucks over brand-name product. However, I
noticed that the Walmart I happened to visit today no longer stocks it,
though they did have small jugs of Coleman brand fuel. Me, I buy the stuff
by the gallon when I do. It has an official shelf life of 5-7 years before
denaturing, and I know people who have used much older fuel than that.

On a somewhat related topic the April 18 Issue of Business Week Has an article titled "The Battle Royale for Super Corn which addresses the ethanol issue.
