Default A Few Questions

First off, today when driving to the airport (60 miles both ways) I noticed that my temp gauge never even hit the halfway point... Every other car that I have owned will warm up and the temp gauge will sit right at the halfway point on the gauge until it the engine is turned off and cools down. I also noticed that the temp gauge fluctuated quite a bit (went up and down) while I was driving.. Is this all normal? My second question is where should my oil temp gauge be once the car has warmed up? Thanks guys!

Default the ECT sensors fail a lot... probably what it is... the good news...

it's a 16 dollar part from ECS tuning, and takes about 5 minutes to install(once the engine is cold)

So, the temp gauge should stay at about the halfway point?
