I am not saying I am careless, but rather partake of risk aversion.

Oh and just because something was done in the past doesn't mean that it should be done in the present. If you say otherwise, in Architecture that is called Post-Modernism, and isn't valid or realistic. Take for example the face jeans have watch pockets. Since when have we carried watches in our pocket? I have seen a reduction in even folks even wearing a watch. Most of the time I find watch pockets useless and sure most folks do.
First of all, Propylene glycol coolant doesn't need to be waterless. You can get something like Sierra if you want a PG coolant that works in an 50-50 mix. If you've changed anti-freeze in the last six or seven years, then regardless of chemistry, what you have will have a bittering agent that discourages animal consumption.

As for the environment, EG actually decays more rapidly in the environment than PG. Antifreeze shouldn't be released it into the wild, accidents excepted.

Finally, don't get to thinking that you're avant garde because you use NPG. I first encountered Evans 15 years ago, and NPG has been around for much longer. The only car manufacturer that ever seriously considered it was Cunningham, for the aborted C7 project. They never even build an engine, much a complete production car. Can you name another that is using it, including all the world's exotic and limited production brands? Why do you think that is?
