just under midpoint on gauge. Same for all Omegas, irrespective of engine or gauge markings.

Both my Omegas (2.5 & 2.6) were running between 90 and 100 in traffic, with the needle resting at 85 on Motorways...

Always round the middle is about right. Slightly over in traffic on a hot day is ok if the fans cut in & bring it just below again before cutting out. :y

2.6 may have a different gauge scale on it.

But the fact remains, it should cruise just below mid point on gauge, rising to just over in traffic, no matter what the gauge scale is (which varies between models)
