Mine is 2022 RS with 660 miles. Drove around now for about 20 miles. Part highway, part suburban but not much traffic. Since owning the car I have not paid much attention to the temperature gauge. Today when I got home I noticed the temperature gauge was pointing dead center. The gauge has indicators marked C, then a line at 1/4 mark, 1/2, then 3/4 on up is red. It just seems to me that I've not seen it pegged dead center but always more at the 1/4 mark. Wondered what others are getting/seeing?

Mine typically sits dead center when the car is warm.

I'd swear that is what mine usually was (1/4) but then again I really did not pay that much attention. But for some reason it now sits at 1/2 (when totally warmed up) which I feel better about now that a couple of others have posted they too run at 1/2 when warmed.

I live in Chicago and I’m the warmer months, always dead center, in winter it usually sticks to 1/4, though sometimes I will see it jump to half if I’m driving for a particularly long time in stop and go traffic.
I'll pay attention to how the outside temperature affects it. Thanks for the info.
dead center but then again have not had COLD weather yet.
My wife's Trailblazer LT 1.3L. All summer it ran at the half mark, now that it is colder 30- 40 degrees it runs at the quarter mark until it is driven at highway speeds for 10-12 miles then it goes up to the half mark again. If driven at lower speeds like around town it never goes over the quarter mark.
I believe that is pretty much the norm, between 1/4 and 1/2. We just did 2000 miles (from Indianapolis to Orlando roundtrip) and it never got over 1/2 under any driving condition from going over mountains to stopped traffic on the interstate.
