I agree. Check this thread for similar results/indications.
When sitting at idle (with no flow over the radiator) it is IMPOSSIBLE for your car to run cooler than 226 when at minimum the low fan kicks on.
Unless of course, you're modded, or have some magical radiator that is efficient enough to cool the coolant without the fan being on.

i've never seen my water temp above 200F. it'll hover @ 190-195
oil temp on the other hand is usually @ 230-250F but i haven't gotten around to checking the grounds. i'm sure they're due for a cleaning, star washer since it sits outside 24/7

I'm certain it won't stay at 190-195 unless your fans are kicking on, in which case, it's likely your car has been reprogrammed.
