Like most 100 drivers I have struggled with overheating problems on
occasion.
The worst situation is when stopping for gas or becoming stalled in traffic
on the highway after running at high speed.
On those occasions when I do drive in cooler temperatures the temperature
usually reaches 75 - 80 degrees C (167 - 176 F) even without a thermostat
although the warm up is a little slower.
The advantage of running at this cooler temperature is that the system
seems to have a larger "reserve" when the above traffic problems occur.
I found that the indicated temperature (which is accurate), runs 5 degrees
C  higher even when using a 165 degree bellows or wax pellet type
thermostat. I suspect this is due to the slight restriction even when the
thermostat is fully open.
