Idle it gets higher...turn off a/c and drive on highway it goes a little lower.
Does it hurt the car to run 212*?

My car is overheating while driving on the freeway but it doesnt on city streets what do you guys think is up?

The stat answer will help a bit. If you are idling and turn off the a/c, does it get better (the highway and turning off the A/c are two variables - best to only have one variable when testing like this)?
The U/D's and flex fan are not helping. Do you have a shroud on the flex fan?
Good luck.
