here's a pic of my temp gauge after going 65 mph for about an hour.
Btw its about 85 degrees outside.
The temperature gauge would actually start aproaching NORMAL right after i STOP gasing the car. But it will never go above Normal.

Thermostat broken? BTW this hurt my engine?

 

what is exactly is your question? this sounds normal to me.

 

i don't get your problem. thts normal isnt it?

 

watever it is it cant hurt ur engine

 

looks totally fine to me. when i drove cross country from new jersey to so cal it was pretty much like you have in the pic for me

 

that there is your normal temp...mine stays between that point and midrange but only gets up that high if i leave the car running for like 30 minutes and its just sittin. nothing to worry about man

 

i thought the normal temp touches that icon?

 

that does look to be a little on the cold side. your thermostat may be starting to stick open, especially if you're noticing big movement in the needle between cruising on the highway, and sitting idle. replace the thermostat, and flush your radiator while you're at it.

by the way, running too cool is indeed not a good thing. your gas mileage will suffer, among other things.

 

That looks about normal to me....maybe just a tad too low, but not much.

 

same thing with my '96 gs-r... i have only seen mine at halfway once, sitting in the drive-thru at jack-in-the-box. otherwise it never passes 40%. i always thought that was a good thing, since my first car ('82 accord) literally erupted into flames one day after overheating.
