While in the Air Force, we used only distilled water and antifreeze in our diesels and the radiators never had that crud buildup that regular H2O had with all it's minerals etc.  I still mix my antifreeze for my own vehicles, but I pay a buck a gallon at the grocery store.  Same stuff my wife uses in her steam iron.  Tom...

In the summer I dump a couple gallons of distilled water a day out of my portable dehumidifier. I should bottle some up and save it for mixing with antifreeze.

  The coolant is another  $13 / $18.00 per gallon or more .... Depending on the shop...
 Labor normally runs $85.00 to $125.00 per hour... Depending on what part of the country....Right now , your area is running approx $90 to $110.00 per hour ....Again....Depending on the shop...

Man, talk about a gyp; that's almost a five hundred percent markup, probably more considering they likely get it in bulk, or do they just get it out of the hose and say it's the real deal?.

Tom36 is right on about the cost; about a buck a gallon, +/- in the grocery store.

I haven't been out in a couple of days, don't know what the gas situation is here.

Up here in Victoria BC Canada it's 1.129 / liter so $4.51 for a BIG gallon. Supposedly going up pretty quick though.

Wow!  .....That's $ 4.27 per US gallon!

I guess there are lots of taxes added on in your country/province.

LOL BIGTIME.......tell me about it!!! Taxes in Canada are REALLY bad and now with the HST here in BC it's unbelievable! Taxes hit an incredible high in BC last July with the new $#$%^ "harmonized sales tax" so people are just stopping a LOT of things. It's so bad that yesterday they said that it's estimated that up to 20% of bars and restraunts will shut in the new year. Oh, on top of that the $#$% brought in new DWI laws - at .05 they can suspend your licence right at the roadblock, impound your car, and it could cost you a few thousand dollars by the time you're done!  BC is NOT a good place to live anymore!
