'Not impressed' with car care story

An appropriate note from a reader:

Jay,

I was not impressed with last night's front page article titled "Cold has
cars on ice".    One of the points emphasized in the article was:

   "“People used to put products like Heet in their gas tanks, but nowadays
   that really isn’t needed,” Griebenow said.
   “All fuel has ethanol in it and it works just like Heet. Gas lines
   normally don’t freeze up anymore.”"

As I read further, there was a statement by someone named 'Turner' who
apparantly didn't agree that Heet was unnecessary.   Unfortunately, the
article failed to explain who 'Turner' was.

So basically, the article supported the assertion that Heet is unnecessary
(and furthermore, restated that assertion in bold print underneath the
article), yet acknowledged that there is some debate as to whether it is an
absolute fact.

Jim's right, we dropped the first reference to Bruce Turner's name...regarding Heet, I'm quite sure there are different opinions on fuel additives, but we probably didn't need to even get into that for the purposes of this story.
