No they don't salt. They use sand. Their is already too many minerals in the water here. We have hot mineral springs everywhere. (they don't call it Yellowstone Park for nothing - lots of sulfur) As far as the leaded fuel thing..... They do sell regular in Montana however I suspect that there is sustitute for the lead. Either way the point is that for an older vehicle that doesn't have a valve conversion it is probably a good idea to use "regular" gas or a lead substitute. BTW - I don't drive my '64 on a regular basis. It stays safe in the garage most of the year and only comes out to play during nice weather. As I said it has 30,000 original miles and although I don't believe in hiding such a gem I do have a fear of someone piling into me. I figure the more it's on the road the greater the chance of that. In fact it actually happened to me once... A guy sitting behind me at a light was so distracted by my car that he wasn't watching traffic. We were waiting to turn right. When I started to creep forward he glanced left, rolled forward and bumped me. I almost $%&#& my pants! I pulled over and couldn't believe he hadn't broken the rear lenses, but only put a small dent under the lid. The guy was amazing, as I was trying to exchange insurance info he was asking if he could take a look inside the car.

I am blown away that leaded is still sold in the US! I related this to one of my environmentalist freinds (who freaks when an engine even drips oil) and he was Freaked! he had no idea eather! Now hes going to start letter writing, I probably opened a can of worms here... OTOH! Must be they dont salt in Montana cause the salt here claims nearly everything over 10 years old, I had the kids count once, we came up with 1 vehicle for every 350 is older than 1975. Must be nice out there to drive your classis year round and not worry! Keith
