The ACID test!
Drove from Exeter to Chesterfield a week ago with the whole of the radiator blanked off, ambient temperature 13 to 15C, quite a bit of sitting in queues. Kept a VERY close eye on the coolant temperature, it took the usual loooooong time to get fully up to 90 ish but then sat there controlling nicely all the way
Average speed 54MPH, average fuel consumption 52MPG.
Came back last night, no congestion, ambient was 2 to 3C, av speed 58MPH, av consumption 50MPG.
