How hot are they suppose to run>
I drove my car with a water temp gauge today. During normal highway driving, I do 195 F consistantly. SOmetimes I go +- 10F, but around 195 is right. City driving i am almost at 210F. Is this something I should be worried about? It was only 50 degree out today. My car had never overheated before, but 210 seems awful high at this point of the year when I was only going through a little stop and go/. What do you guys think?

Yeah it is on stock fan, no electric fan. On the highway, if i am really on it hard. I can hit 210. I wonder why it is running so high, is it because i run a lot more water than anti freeze?

probably 85% water 15% anti freeze. I lost all of my coolant when I installed the gauge. I just filled it up with what I had real quikc. I am going to do a 60/40 anti freeze mix on MOnday when I get hoome. I mount the gauge at the stock location, could it be thre reason why it is reading so high?
