Default Temp Gauge ???

So beautiful today took the Vette for a 100 mile run.
Every thing went fine.
But when in cruise control @ 70 mph, I noticed the temp Gauge was fluctuating, back and forth every 10 seconds or so.
All other gauges were fine.

My 1st thought was that it was caused by them thermostat, opening and closing
Outside temp was @ 52 deg.

Any answers? Thanks. :steering:

Edited:
After getting to operating temp. (The 1st mark,on the gauge),the needle would move back and forth to each side of the mark.
When I would slow down to 40 mph it remained steady!

How much did it fluctuate?

Did it vary the whole hundred miles?

At what temperature did it do this, and by how much.
