If your gauge is the vertical type and reads...
N<----
O<----
R
M
A
L

I suggest you check it....or do some maintenance to the system (t-stat replacement, flush, check fan...), it's a little high, eventhough the OEM gauge is not that accurate. My 2ยข.

If you all broke down and bought a mechanical gauge that actually has a number on it you wouldnt have to guess your temp according to the N O R M A L scale.

Not bashing but its always better to know the actual temp and they arent that expensive or hard to hook up.
