heat problem...

I've had my car now for about 2 months... and i have noticed as i go down 75... i like to ride around 80 mph, well i noticed that my tempature gage goes up to 75%. I just wanted to know if that i normal, i normally run at 3k RMP and it only gets hot when it's actually hot outside. say i drive at night and i do 80 mph, it will get warm for a lil bit... then it will go back to middle. I just was wondering if there is anything that i need to do. Thanks =)

that is not normal.
You need to check all your cooling system components.

Check the Water pump, thermostat and radiator.

Look for blockages, or gummy/rusty residue.
try flushing the system and replacing the thermostat.
These things are cheap and easy.

Overheating engines are expensive and harder to replace.
