Hi temp road test
It's 92.5 degrees here today (Just north of Boston) and I took out the V for
a little road test. Within a very few minutes on the back roads going up to I-95,
the water temp was in the 185-195 range.
We had the AC on for 95% of the trip. It was HOT out there!
Once we were on the highway, it stayed around 185d. Only after we were
heading back home on side streets did it peak up to 202. I assume the fan came on.
I reset the current average MPG on the trip meter when we entered I-95.
I set the CC for 53 MPH, the AC to medium and enjoyed the ride.
We made a 10 mile loop (down to Rt-2 and back) and saw an average 33 MPG.
If I delete the mud flaps, turn off the AC and CC, I should be able to easily hit
my goal of 35MPG highway..
My work here is almost done!
