If I recall correctly, from my camper's manual, vanagons sold in Canada came with 70:30 mix.  Maybe some of our Canadian members could tell us for sure.  I think all auto makers recommend 70:30 in colder climates.  I would think it would be used in colder parts of the lower 48, and certainly would be used in Alaska.  But, then those guys run block heaters if they have power to do so.  I think I coined the term.  mcneely
