After the reading of 120 it was all haywire once we got back home. It was off by like 12 degrees. But over time it seems to have corrected itself. Must have been the -20 winter mornings .

 

I haven't seen any abnormal differences. On the day I hit a temp of 121, the official high in the valley taken from within 5 miles of my location was 120 and the high for my city was listed as 121 though I am not sure where that number comes from.

Same for my fuel mileage. I have kept a tally of all my fuel stops with the exception of one when my sister-n-law treated me to a tank. Each time I reset the OBC and the numbers are within .05 mpg. Close enough for my taste.

I hit 101F today. :smile:


Had the AC on at 76F... drove just fine like any other day.

 

I usually notice my OBC temperature is accurate +/- 2 degrees. Yesterday around 2pm it was jumping between 120 and 121 and I passed two electronic billboards that said it was 119 so I guess its pretty accurate.Much better than the mileage claims!

 

I've been hitting 119 every afternoon for the past week. Yesterday hit 123.

 

I've hit 96, had the 37 ping ping, and have hit i THINK 28. I bought the car while it was still snowing in the middle of March :P

89 is killer here, but that's what it's been averaging here the past week... i dont know if can take anything higher!! But i love cruising around with all the windows down/back at a nice 78 at night.

 

104 in Albuquerque, NM a couple weeks ago. Yesterday I saw 103 and it stayed there for the trip home.

 

I've seen from -47C(-52.6F) to 46C(114.8F)
I get a cold temp. ding for about 4 months every time I start the car

 

BRRRRR!

 

I think Lotsie has the widest temp swing award locked

102 Denver yesterday. after enduring Phoenix for 5 summers 102 is sweater weather...

 

Maybe I should start another thread

Something like,,, How wide does your MINI temp. swing

 

I was concerned that my temp gauge had been off by +-4 degrees...using bank thermometers and newscasts as my guide.

It read 110 the other day, but then I saw a kid driving an old truck with his windows down wearing a letterman's jacket. I'm guessing pride drops the temperature down about +-30 degrees...so I'm not too concerned about my gauge now.
