Keep in mind that gauges are usually designed so the needle is in the middle of the range at optimum. You may not be getting hot at all.

I added an aftermarket temp gauge. In the winter you can see the thermostat opening and closing!!! In the summer mine will creep above 180* in traffic and after shutting off the engine, but doesn't go over 205.

Many factory thermostats were 195*.
