it varies from car to car... the important part is that it's in almost the exact same position until it starts heading up - once it starts heading up, it won't stop.... so if yours stays in the same place, you should be fine.

I've actually noticed that when the car is running hot (like 220F), the guage starts to go just barely above horizontal, its almost imperceptible but I can actually tell the difference between 180 and 220. Normally the guage sits just below horizontal. Best bet is to get a real temp guage though instead of playing these guessing games.
