[Healeys] Cross Country & Ethanol

[Randy Hicks]

I have not noticed a difference in running temperature. Steady 160 - 165 deg
when outside temps 75 degrees or less. (160 degree thermostat)

We are hitting 96 - 107 degrees across the SW & Midwest with car running temps
@ 180 - 190 which I consider normal in that heat for my car.

Where I notice the difference is in pulling power up hills/mtns. and at idle.
Much smoother & steadier idle. Engine seems to rev much freer.

520.4 miles in 100+ degree temps with no AC is enough for today.  :-)
