Mark,

Do keep in mind that while your temps are higher than in the past, your car is not showing any signs of overheating.

You make no mention of it puking when parked after a long run, or of hearing funny boiling sounds coming from the engine or tanks.

Remember the Ford 'fix' for the multitude of owners that saw high gauge temperatures as a problem was to add a resistor to the gauge wiring, which kept the needle at a lower point. It made no difference to the water temperature, but it allowed the owners to relax and enjoy the ride. Too many owners were used to just idiot lights and actually seeing the temperature freaked them out.

New cars run as hot as yours by design.

Last thought, timing can directly affect an engine's temperature. Has your been worked on, or checked?
