According to "torque" app , im getting to 80 degrees well before i get to work

Doesnt seem to go much above that though

Torque seems to alert me when i hit 70-72 degrees as an operating temp and that happens within 4 miles , so i think the thermostat is fine

I dont know what a running temp should be though .. i thought 80 is a tad low ?

In reference to the C5 i had .. that would sit around 87 ish

It might have a lower rated stat in it - but i dont know what it should have in it

Could this be causing a slightly lower MPG ?
