Im like most here. Between N & O on 'normal'. Doesnt matter what temp it is outside, it always stays between N & O. On a cold night it can take a good 15mins of slow-normal driving to get it up to normal operating temperature.

Between N/O here too.
I'm getting a brand new radiator, hoses and coolant flush in the next few weeks (i plan to anyway) so It'll be interesting to see what difference that will make? Warmer or cooler running... |

My EGAS sat on the right side of the O whe at optimal running temperature (94 deg C in the Dash Diagnostic).
After the larger radiator got put in .... it would normally sit around the N (82-85 deg C). Also you could watch the temperature drop on the gauge when cruising on the freeway.
