i was drivin home the other night from a 1 1/2 hr drive and noticed the temp. rose just above the half way mark so naturally I was a bit concerned. can someone give me an idea of what temp. it should be running at. if the lowest marking is 40 degrees and the highest is 120deg. then the car was running at about 80- 90 deg. is that normal. just being cautious cause it was at night so i thought it should be running cooler.
