Hi,
The temp gauge goes low when I drive on the highway but is at normal(in the middle) while idling or driving locally. I also noticed that it takes a longer for it to get to the middle when driving locally. Please advise what could be the problem. Thank you in advance.

PS: the mileage is 85000 KM
