Re: Washer Fluid

Stu,

Not sure what the car's mileage should have to do with your washer fluid
reservoir running dry, it's a function of how often you spray your
windsheld. At any rate, I've had good luck with Prestone Windshield De-Icer
washer fluid. It costs maybe $5.00 a gallon at Wal-Mart, but it really
works. I bought my first bottle up in Summit County Colorado on a very
cold, snowy weekend. You can spray it right on an icy windshield, and not
only does it NOT freeze to the glass, it actually melts the ice.
