We run four V6s here, three are used on a daily basis and all record roughly the same running temperature 92 - 95 degs, run with ACC active. I believe the standard thermostat opening temperature is 88 degs, so I'm quite happy with 92 - 95 especially as several others have confirmed the same sort of results.

Keep well
Good for you.
The reason why I thought you were fuelling with E85 is that you're living in Sweden. But I remember that the price is now less attractive.
Anyway why fearing E10? ... I can't understand. But that's another question and I don't want to begin an argument...
Keep you safe as well. Always glad to hear of you.
