For a project for petrol vapour recovery, is the viscosity of ethanol / methanol vapour much different from petrol vapour? Does anyone have viscosity data for these three gaseous fuels?

since they are gases, the viscosity will be nearly the same .007 centpoise
 
Thanks for that - I have seen a lot of hydrocarbon gases are around the 0.007 centipoise figure. Why then does air, also a gas, have more than double the viscosity (0.018 centipoise)? Is it dependant on molar mass?
