Has anyone tried or know of anyone that tried the waterless coolant made by Evans Cooling, www.evanscooling.com.

Interesting stuff.

Dave,
  My understanding of what Zerex and Prestone mean by "mixes with" is the same as your technically correct use of "is functionally compatible with".
 Simplified language for the masses.

Does anyone remember when you could buy either "permanent" or "non-permanent" antifreeze.  I recall this being an issue back in the 1950's when fall aproached and there were 30 or 40 cars on my family's used car lot in Michigan.
  Non-permanent was cheaper and I assume based on methanol or denatured ethanol.  It did not last well thru hot weather.
