Not as well as on 200 proof whiskey if you can find it. 100 proof is only
50% alcohol the rest being water and the whiskey flavouring, of course,
alcohol completely mixes with water so it will go into the engine but not
burn with the punch that 100% alcohol gives you.

200 proof "whiskey" wouldn't really be whiskey. It's just alcohol.
