Thing about the G1 Insight is that, even though it's only a 3-cylinder, it has a water jacket in the header that collects heat from the exhaust, making the cooling requirements larger than you'd expect for an engine of its displacement.

I do just fine in the mountains with a 100% upper block and 50% lower, but it's also rarely over 80F here.
