My guess is your thermostat is toast/hosed/fried. I had similar symptoms in
my 95.5 Avant, got a new thermostat, and voila! Temp gauge went up to the
1/3 range where it belongs, and mileage went up appreciably. I'm about 50
miles south of Boston, experiencing the same tropical conditions as you, and
my temp gauge is acting the same as it does in the middle of the summer.
HTH.

Subject: [s-cars] cooling problem and question


Hey, 
I have some questions/concerns about my engine temperature.  

I drive my car everyday and usually use it in durations extending over 20 
minutes at one time.  Strangely, my water temperature gauge continues to
read 
cold (sitting on righter most cold black bar) and never moves past that.
Also I 
live in Boston so i wanted to know if anyone else in the area is
experiencing 
this or if its my car

Is this normal or do I have a cooling problem?  
Could my engine be warm but my water temp. gauge off?  
oil also reads around 60 degrees C but I don't know much about oil temp (oil

pressure is normal though).  And also, I've been getting only about 255
miles 
per tank, and in this temp. i haven't been able to drive it hard so that
seems 
particularly low to me.  any help would be great, thx
