WaterWetter® Tech Info
I use water wetter or... The other one (don't remember the name off the top of my head)

I've run with water, with a 10-20% glycol solution and on 50/50

No complaints, not sure how much cooler I really ran, but for $6-7, why not

Well, yeah, I'm around the same because of the thermostat and the only time I drive is early morning and late at night, and Sunny Southern California has turned into the god damn arctic, so at 40 degrees outside, my water temp has been lower that usual
