Quick thought... Do you get decent heat in the passenger cabin? If not, the thermostat could be stuck in the open position which would keep engine temerature low. Also an easy fix on most cars...

This is in a drivethru, car running and stopped. I have a 35 gallon tank , RPM gauge dead and my MPH is off by 5 miles or so.

That's crazy man! I never heard of this happening on any other vehicle. I saw a pic on another thread and this guys speedometer was past the 120 MPH mark. LOL

Quick update: Well, since the temperature has warmed up outside, my thermostat gauge has been working with no issues. =-)

Thanks for the info JaybeStangs94! Right now, it's not a major issue, however if/when things get worse i may go that route!
