Default temperature sensors

Quick question, Does anyone know why I am getting two different readings on my temperature gauges on my dash.
The analog reads 185 -195 all the time.
the digital read out gauge reads 200 - 220.
Why the difference?

The analog gauge is notorious for being misleading. The scale is not linear so it's nearly impossible to read accurately. Don't pay much attention to it unless you enjoy anxiety. Use the digital temp gauge instead, it's usually accurate within 2-3 degrees.
