I think you should independently check the temp of the radiator with an IR temp gun. Your gauge may be off or the needle may have been removed and replaced just a little off when someone was in the pod. Does it sit on the bottom line exactly when the car is off? I'm pretty sure 9:00 is the proper running location of that gauge needle, give or take a little. Where does yours run?

But this thread isn't about that is it...

Mike,
Thanks, I frequently check the temp, always around 188F and use the gauge to note any change.

Catfood,
A/C was on, ambient temp was around 95F, center vent was 37F, congrats on your mileage, I don't think I'll catch you up though.
