I found
some info on my 1.6HDi engine's thermostat:

Thermostat starts to open at 83C and fully open at 97c

So, if my normal hypermiling temperature rarely exceeds 78°C, then my radiator should be luke warm (I'll have to remember to check that). Unless the temp sensor and/or Scan Gauge II are slightly off. A t-stat that starts to open around 90°C may not be available, since this is specifically for this engine, and comes in a big plastic housing, along with a temperature sensor and a bunch of hoses. Expensive overkill, if you ask me.
