Cruising sixth gear around 70-80 mph light traffic on I35. While not terrible I do think thats hot for cruising in top gear on a flat smooth interstate freeway. Once I exited the interstate near home and sat at the first red light the temp came down to 220 pretty quick.
Austex - that is normal as far as I can tell. Until i put a cooler on the car that is exactly what I was running - to and from SA from Austin on IH35 or 281. I have a project in SA and make the trip often. You have no worries mate.
