I used to drive a '94 Chevrolet Cavalier and I must admit that the stock gauge on that car was more informative than the one on my current '07 Hyundai Accent. In the summer, when I was stopped at a stoplight with the A/C on, I could see the dial move towards the "H" end as the fan would turn on. On my accent, not only does it not move once it reaches "normal operating temperature, around 190-195ºF," but it is also hardly moves out of "C" until the coolant temp is already 140-150ºF! I never realized how much the temperatures fluctuate until I got my handy scan gauge!
