I live in Miami Beach and I drive about 33 miles to Fort Lauderdale. The afternoon temperatures have been 85-90 F and in 6 gear doing 65 mph and the engine revs at 2,500 my temperature gauge indicates 180-190 F. Since my car is breaking in I do not take it beyond 4,000 rpm.
The highest temperature I have seen was 220 F while stuck in a traffic jam on the causeway to the beach.
