My 67BGT has been running about 195 but I'm still running a 190 degree
thermostat. The temperature has gone up to 200-205 during city driving when
idling at a stop light or going up a long incline. Outdoor temps running in
the high 80s to low 90s (that is hot weather here in the dental floss
land). My son's 65B, from what I have seen, is running about the same.
