I'm with Ed. Everybody I talk to says run the 50/50 and forget it. The only time I worry about my skin freezin in Florida is when my mother inlaw is in for a visit. Thats why I put a TV and fridge in the garage and keep it full of antifreeze. LOL...

When I spent time in AZ working at a garage, they weren't use to the term anti-freeze, they refered to it as coolant. Its a good idea to use it it reduces boil over and protects from rust some, as stated increases boil point.
