ive replaced the thermostat and the sending unit....so ive probably got a bad gauge. The thing is though i get poor gas mileage like it never warms up. the gauge only goes up to the 1/8 mark and it takes awhile to get there. i drove 150 miles highway at 55mph and grandma take offs n only got 20 mpg...did i get a bad thermostat or is something else wrong...no check engine light though

hook it to a scanner and read data
