! Every gas station here does it the same way so you don't have to mix it yourself.

They sell winter mix at winter and summer mix at summer ! Every gas station here does it same the way so you don't have to mix yourself.

OK - makes sense. I guess it doesn't get cold enough here in the UK to need to do this.
