Congratulations on your new high. My SE-R used to only get 26 mpg before I started hypermiling. I brought its average to 38 mpg its last 20,000 miles.
No, 214 is probably too high. I'm surprised your radiator fan isn't kicking on at 204 degrees. Coolant temperatures run hottest at idle when stopped. When the car is rolling, temperatures should be cooler.
You might try coasting engine off, if you can work up to being comfortable with that. Try it in a parking lot to see how the steering feels & how many pumps on the brakes you have w/o power assist. You'll see about 20 degrees lower temperature w/EOC.
