In most cars especially newer ones the temp gauge doesn't actually show the real temp. it will sit in one spot as long as the car is in its comfortable operating range. this is to keep your average driver from freaking out in situations where the temp unavoidably swings up (ie. after getting off the highway,etc.). This means you can only use most temp gauges to tell your if the car is cold, warmed up, or overheating.
