There's no convenient way to check the coolant temp, Bill, but if you had a surface thermometer of some type you could check the thermostat housing temp with the engine hot. You're right, the good gas mileage sort of suggests that your temperature is O.K., and that the sender, wiring or dash gauge is wrong. You might try disconnecting the single wire connection on the thermostat housing, cleaning it up, crimping the connector to make sure it's tight, and reassembling. At worst, changing the thermostat is a 30 minute job. Dave Lokensgard '90 Vanden Plas Majestic (DAVZCAT) '55 XK140 OTS Poway, California
