Coleman dual fuel double burner is the only thing to get.
Although getting and storing small volumes of petrol can be a PITA, particularly if your car is diesel. And I know they run on other fluids, but why would you use anything other than petrol?
The coleman fuel is supposed to be 3 times as efficient as petrol in the cost stakes I think it kinda adds up, petrol for me would be a last resort as petrol has loads of crap in it.

I run mine on petrol, works just fine and doesn't seem to contaminate anything. As long as it's hot enough (which it always is) and the pressure is enough, then it's very efficient.

Another one for Coleman Dual fuel. Been using it for years on unleaded.
Invested in a Il Primus fuel container as the 5l takes up too much space.
