I would say that's right around where mine runs. My 4yr old Napa thermostat did not do that. I'm still waiting for the really cold temps to hit. Been very mild so far. Look at that. Only my second post and I lost my limited status!

Depending on how far you are driving you might not get to operating temperature. Cooling system is very efficient and over-sized on these rides. Winter fronts should be considered a requirement. The smell of coolant is most likely your heater core which is a real treat to replace.I have some concerns with the latest round of thermostats Napa sells. I too just replaced my thermostat with the exact one you mentioned. The stat is stamped with 190 but the box says 195 yet I went from being able to maintain 190 degrees to it running around 188 sometimes a bit less. The thermostat I took out was also a Napa but it was about 4 years old. I buy very few parts from Napa any more. They keep changing their suppliers out and making it harder to tell exactly what part manufacture you are getting.
