> I hate road salt. Is it true that they dont use it in Colorado? No. When we lived there the sand that the highway trucks put on the roads was mixed with 10% salt. See http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/sr/sr235/017-030.pdf and http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f76/map-states-use-road-salt-27855/ I'm not sure of the accuracy of the last link. Also, Why does colorado not use salt on their roads? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081224123452AA23Uwq That link says they use magnesium chloride, which is even worse on cars.
