I know this has been discussed before, but I wanted to post a picture of my temp gauge and see what you guys think. I know from memory that this needle used to point smack dab in the middle on my car, but lately (both before and after replacing cooling components) it's been sitting just a tick to the left. Even with AC on, operating temp seems just a hair to the left at all times. Both coolant sensors are about two years old. The old T-stat was the 87 degree variety, the new one is 92 degrees. Makes no difference except that the needle reaches "near-middle" a little faster.

What would cause a minor deviation on something like this?
