I found this local and was wondering if i could just use this and add water.
I can't find any windshield fluid that wont freez past -32 deg. I hear that i want to be using the -20 deg, but i cannot find it here. All i can find is -32 deg.

Default Best route to go IMO. VP M1 is $7/gallon locally and a gallon of distilled water is < $1.5
In terms of getting up to 50% methanol, I think it's around the same than using windshield washer with a bunch of bottles with HEET.

Looking at roughly $4.25/gallon for VP M1 methanol and distilled water. (50/50)

Default 4 bottles of heet is only .375 gallons (12 oz/each). You would need 10.6 bottles for 1 gallon.
Which is more than $10.

VP M1 pure meth is $7/gallon. Just food for thought
