New Owner can you help with some questions?

1- have you ever seen it hotter outside than 140? Of course it will read low on start up.
2- that's low. I'm shifting at 4000-4500 not racing lol
3- normal wear and tear like anything else..
4- I get about 16 mpg out of mine. But it's modified and I drive with a heavy foot. It depends on your driving style and what octane.
5- your better off walking than even attempting to drive in even a dusting of snow. Unless you get really good snow tires, even then you are taking a huge risk. Rwd is not ideal for snow conditions.
