That seems to be where most of them will read. Now the accuracy seems to be anybody's guess. There's people with completely accurate gauges. On the flip side there's people running hotter or cooler than what their gauges show. The gauge it self doesn't even seem to have a linear way of reading. From 100 (the first mark) to 210 (halfway mark) is a 110 degree difference. Logically, you would think being the halfway point that it's another 110 degrees to the maximum mark, but its not, it's 50 degrees. Its a strange gauge that's apparently useless for some and very helpful for others. For me, if the gauge is at the 1/4 mark, everything is okay. If you need to have an exact measurement of coolant temperature, you can check it manually.

On a side note, like TahoeJim, excluding my speedometer and tach, my oil pressure gauge and voltmeter are on the money. My gas gauge is only accurate because I'm used to driving it and know by the way it reacts to movement just how low I am on gas.
