UPDATE: I broke down and got the Engine ICE. Why? Because I somewhat know the Manager at a Cycle Gear and one of the two bottles I was going to buy had a...ahem...leak in it. Buy one get one free. SOLD!!!

Yes, I have already searched the nuts off of PG based coolants, Engine Ice (EI), Purple Ice, Evans NGP and Water Wetter.
But I am looking for regular ethylene glycol (EG) coolant along the lines of Havoline Dex-Cool or other EG based coolants.
I don't give a rat's mustache about toxicity or amazing anti-freeze properties (the temp. in my garage never gets below freezing here in FL). I'm looking for what will work best OVERALL for my bike.
Even the owner of EI, Dave, stated here that EI is not meant for "everyday use" but for extreme applications (track/drag) to see a noticable difference.
I don't take my bike to the track or even have a suitable track to take the bike too here in FL so meeting coolant track specs (WW) does not apply.
Have read the numerous stories from EI/WW users and looks as if it only worked slightly better for those that had overheating problems (track/drag/summer traffic riders) or made no diff. at all from EG coolant (everyday riders).
My stock set-up has been sufficient for me and maybe once every 6 months will I actually get stuck in traffic in warmer weather where the needle will climb to the 3/4 mark.
Does anyone use an EG based coolant they recommend?
