The temperature gauge is a relative indicator. The gauges on American cars are notorious for reading different on the same make and model even though conditions are the same. Unless you have the repair manual for the vehicle with details on the temperature marks on the gauge tied to degrees on F or C (absolute) you have to rely on the simplified hot or cold indications.
