Same. Today, with the weather in the low 70's, on the highway cruising normally, the temp ran in the low 80's Celsius. After running it "lightly hard" in the afternoon, with the weather around 80 or so, after getting off the highway, it went to 90 Celsius, and then eased back to 85 Celsius with the single puller fan running in normal traffic. This is pretty typical for my FE. Over the summer I was stuck in traffic with the weather at 100 degrees and sticky humid. My FE climbed to the low 90's Celsius. If I turned on the auxiliary pushers to supplement the puller, it would drop down to below 90.
