I think my point got lost somewhere. Which is that if you have to climb ~4000 ft of 6% grade* or steeper on a hot day, your Insight will be seeing 230F or higher coolant temperatures before you reach the top - or at least mine does. That doesn't happen (at least in my experience), if you climb just 500 or 1000 ft, descend, then climb again.

*Which you won't often find east of the Rockies, Mt. Washington excepted.
