And this is a bit of interesting trivia... on the Optikleen bottles specifically say "not for use in cars with gasoline heaters", due to flammability....

The "blue water" they sell at the auto parts stores (and other places) is 
advertised as being good to -20F.  That ought to work JF!  Well, for cars 
anyway.
