Finally got around to do at least a quick test today. Hooked up the OBD-II (AutoEnginuity ScanTool) and made a 15 min or so run. Here's what I found:

Needle parallel to white line on bottom of gauge, ECU says ~150F
Needle approx. 1/3 between white line and red line on gauge, ECU says ~174-178F

My temp maxed at 181, ambient temps mid 50s, stop-and-go driving. I'm fairly close the the range indicated. There are individual sensors for the ECU and the gauge, no? I forget...
