Actually, the move is alway from the typical "salt" anyway. I can't remeber what it is, but its not the road salts of the past, its just what newscaters call it for lack of a better word. The salts that were used previously were pretty harmful to the envrionment, and since NYC (and even Nyack) is close to the water ecosystem, they try not to use it as much anymore. The new compound is less harmful to roads, envrionment, cars, etc.
I have a 94 explorer, and it isn't rusted out. And believe me, being a poor college student, I couldn't get it washed nearly as much as I would have liked to in the winter. My mom has an 87 suburu and its still fine too.
