Not sure if it's 15 deg higher, but I do know my 100 runs much hotter on  
today's gasses than any of my other Healeys in the past. They always ran a  
little hot, now my car runs way more than a little hot, but that said, she's  
still running well.

15degF  higher coolant temps? That's huge--anybody else seeing that?

Also they run  hotter with Ethanol. I was running about 15 degrees 
hotter with 10%  Ethanol. Another problem that is starting is the 
rubber fuel lines are  softening and starting to leak after a period 
of time. So if you are using  Ethanol fuel keep a close look at all 
the fuel hoses.
