With 30k on my car, it would have been at about 112'C
With 80k (when I put the 2L in) it would have been about 115'C.
I don't think I ever saw temps over 115'C on the highway. A few times=20
after a hard highway run and then suddenly stopping for traffic on hot days=
=20
it would creep towards 118'C or so and then back off.
Try turning all of your electrical accessories (esp. HVAC fan) and see if=20
the temp on the gauge changes -- if it doesn't have a great ground, or your=
=20
electrical consumption is very high, it will read high.
