It is quite common for the temperature to reach 230* during the long, slow stop 'n' go freeway traffic in Houston...at times it can take 45 minutes to crawl only one mile. When that happens, I try to get to the "inside" lane so that if I blow a radiator hose I can get off the freeway, but then that initiates a "Safe-tow" process where the city will come and tow my car to a place off the freeway...for a huge fee, of course.
I agree...I do not worry about 210*...
Cheers!
