Keep in mind that many automotive temperature gauges are absurdly non-linear. Some of them read in the middle of the range from something like 100F to 230F. Others are linear and sensible.
... Hmmm, come to think of it, that is based on older cars. It is possible that things are better on more recent cars, especially since modern EFI uses coolant temp as a fairly important input to the engine management. Hmm....
