Vic has a 192* in it right now, with the ultragauge, I'm seeing usually 188-190 driving, may get to 200ish idling or traffic.

Aspire on the other hand 190 iirc, and it has a hard time staying in the 180's in the cold weather. Haven't had the ultragauge in the car with it warm out yet...Plus the engine is so tiny, I'm sure it's very impressionable by 60mph 30* air..haha

Thanks for the replies.

My temps were with a scan gauge II. With the temps in the 60s today I got to 206 in stop and go traffic.

Seems that during the cold if my temps remained in the mid 160s it would kill my MPGs. Shouldn't the T-stat close to keep engine temps up? Is my tstat not working properly or is it a matter where the coolant temp sensor is located?
