Just got this GM Certified used 2008 last night. Wife noticed today that Engine Temp guage sits above the 1/2 mark, between 3/4 and 1/2. Never saw a car that the temp read that high with normal driving with the A/C on. Only noticed it today. Where should that temp guage needle be sitting?

Thanks in Advance,

Dennis
