Oh, I see. Yea, I was hoping for more than that.
Back when I lived in California, they actually banned the methanol containing windshield fluid (everything on the shelf is marked 32F), but the local Walmart mistakenly received a shipment of 0F wiper fluid and I bought all the jugs I could carry. The cashier was kind of confused why they wouldn't scan.
When going to Nevada for skiing, I'd also scoop that methanol containing stuff up. I can't remember if I saw -20F, it doesn't really get that cold in the Sierras IIRC.
For gasoline powered cars, water or methanol injection is a little fussy since you have the option of running more ethanol in the tank. It still helps, just not much without a big turbo.
