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.
