Naphtha is also known as Coleman or Crown camping fuel.  Most Walmarts 
nationwide are currently offering Crown Camping Fuel for $7.64/gal.

And yes, it is HIGHLY inflammable, even more so than automobile 
gasoline.  Naphtha has an octane rating around 50, which means is is 
much more volatile than auto gas.  It is a great cleaner, though ... 
just use it as advised outside and well away from any ignition source.
