I bought a 2013 Honda Accord and immediately hooked up my UltraGuage. I was surprised to find the car only gets up to 174*F. And it takes a long time to get there. Do direct injected cars normally run at this temp? I thought all cars today run at 210*F. Doesn't a warmer engine ran more efficiently?
