Great data, only thing I wonder is why you removed your grille blocks when reaching 205 dF, I think of that as normal, does you electric fans kick on close to that temp? (mine on at 220ish off 205)
Civic has a good point, but I'd think moving at 30 mph average the cat will cool down pretty quick.
Isn't starting from cold running 2 minutes what the Prius does while still in electric mode(based on reading here)? I'd be willing to bet the new auto start/stops have a temp probe to only shutdown if the cat is hot enough.
Thanks for all the work & expense in getting real data it's a very educational thread.
