Looking at your other post, it seems you have a '98. '98s get a pretty accurate temp gage, the '99+ cars temp gage is basically useless...it reads 210 anytime the temp is between basically 180-230.
Having said that, are you seeing these temps on the gage or with a scan tool? If it's on the gage, I'd verify with a scan tool first and make sure the reading is correct.
It's possibile it might have a 160 stat, and maybe even fan programming to match. Are you in a cold climate?

If it really concerns you though, you'll need to check it with a scanner to get the actual exact temp.
