Also, have to consider ambient outside temperature. The hotter it is outside, the less heat the cooling sytem can remove, so in hotter times like summer, you can expect to see it a little higger in extreme situations such as sitting in the middle of the interstate while traffic is stopped to clear a major crash, or waiting in line 20 cars deep in the Mcdonalds drive through at 3pm with Amazonian River Slothes taking the orders.
And, that is not hot, still plenty of room before the red.

Take it u have been in that situation lmao...i have gone into the red becuase of that crap...but my tstat was bad too
