Keep in mind that the cheap stuff usually contains alcohol and can dry out all your seals...
The two that I've found without alcohol are. Star Brite and Zecol 100 plus antifreeze.
In searching for an antifreeze without alcohol I also found out that the -50 antifreezes claim of burst protection to -50 is burst protection for copper pipe not plastic or PVC. From what I've read -50 only gives burst protection for plastic or PVC to somewhere between -10 to -15.
That being said I've used -50 antifreeze in my boats and campers for years without incident. For an extra 3 to 4 dollars a gallon 8 to 12 dollars a winterizing I've switched to the -100 antifreeze.
