When you say 95 where is that on the gauge? I have not even driven it enough to put any fuel in it yet, or over 55MPH. I live 2 miles from work and with the AC running or not the needle always sets a little below the line that is in between the 80 and 120 even when 98F out side. It does not look scale to me. Is that normal or is it to hot? I looked through the records and it has not been flushed for a while so I will get it down and have it flushed.
