<< The engine seems to run on the cooler side (2 notches above
 /to the right of the "C" on the digital dash). At 90 to 100mph
 the oil temp gets up to only 90 Celsius at 24 - 25 miles/gal.
 I don't know if runs rich or not. I know that this car has two rads.
 Personally, I'd like the Oil temp to hover around 100-110 to evaporate
 contaminants and moisture condensation.

 Well, let me know what you guys think about this!

 Thanks!

Mine runs cool, too - never gets up to the normal section, and the oil runs
cool compared to the quattro (86 4000CSQ vs. 86 GT).  The only time the oil
gets hot is on the track.  Part of this has to do with the new radiator and
the lack of AC stuff, though, I'm sure

Later!
