For the average intermittent user, the least expensive supply is in the paint department of any "Big Box" general merchandiser where it is sold in 3.5l (U.S.gal) for use as a solvent. Small and very expensive bottles are sold as "Gas Line Deicer" and often have some colour added thus they "look cool" and this justifies the double or triple price.

Additionally, the mixture would still be dangerous for consumption. For safety and legal reasons, it’s best to use commercially available methylated spirits that follow regulatory guidelines.
What is the most suitable investigation question to investigate evaporation using distilled water ethanol acetone and methylated spirit?
The first investigation question is, why are you comparing the evaporation rates of ethanol and methylated spirit? One of the most important things to know about methylated spirit is it's made so it can't be demethylated. This for several reasons, largely because alcohol beverage taxes are not levied on methylated spirit as they are on drinkable ethanol; if you could demethylate spirit then people would never buy booze, they'd just buy methylated spirit and fix it. One of their safeguards is to use an agent that evaporates at the same rate as ethanol (methanol, usually, which is where the name used in England comes from). This keeps people from distilling it.
