why is that?

When you say aqueous, are you talking of water based solutions? If yes, the density of the solution plays an important role. Molecular weight of the solvents, vicosity of the liquid etc. also play a factor.

Ethylene glycol is able to contribute 3 ions per ethylene glycol while methanol only 2, when dissociates in H2O. By theory, Ethylene glycol should be more conducting. However, considering the fact that that they are both weak acids, they dissociates very little in H2O. Thus the number of ions contributed by the two is roughly about the same. So aqueous methanol and aqueous ethylene glycol should have very similar conductivity values.
