mine used to do that. i replaced the thermostat and now its in the O most of the time. if your car thinks its running cold it'll stay in the warmup loop and your performance/economy will suffer.

the temp gauge on the cluster is only a gauge of the water running though the system, not of the actual engine. an oil cooler is always good in a place like brisbane. can be bad in colder climates i've heard. a cool engine is a happy engine though.

Are you running an extra engine oil or trans oil cooler? Engine oil cooler would make a difference to the coolant temp.
If the car is running cold, the ECU will run rich, to act as a choke until the car gets hot.
