[W126 Coupe] MBCOUPES Digest, Vol 91, Issue 1

[Calvin Young]

thanks Gerry, but for the memory challenged of us, there is an easy way to 
remember this..  Remember the first set, 15C=60F.  After that, for every 5 
degress of C, add 8 degrees of F.  Only off by 1 degree  at 25C for the set. 
At 10C, off by 2 degrees.  Not really enough to matter.

Up to now I have been using the formula to make the conversion.  This makes 
life a little easier.

>> 15C = ~60F (balmy for most of the US, but arctic by Houston standards)

>>

>> 20C = 68F (very comfortable temperature for most folks, but chilly here 

>> in Houston)

>>

>> 25C = 77F (about my favorite temperature; not too hot, not too cold, 

>> normal Houston fall day)

>>

>> 30C = 86F (getting a bit too warm for my tastes, but a cold summer day 

>> here in Houston)
