low operating temp?!

so i just tore apart my intake to get to the thermostat thinking it was stuck open... but i put it in a boiling bath and it opens and closes just fine. i don't think we have an infrared thermometer to test it, but the gauge in the IP goes from 100 - 260, it never goes above ~1/4 the way. i'm guessing @140 - 150.

what's the chance the temp gauge is wrong? the heater gets warm fairly fast in not ass cold weather, <20 degrees.

any ideas would be appreciated, till then i'm thinking of running cleaner and water through the system, not supposed to get below freezing in the next 10 days...

could this be associated with my fuel gauge problem with it almost never being accurate when it's (the car) been moved in the previous few minutes?
