Mine stays at about 1/3 from the bottom. I have a ZE. I was wondering if mine is normal.

Mine is like your's Fowljesse, it never goes above 1/3 the way up. New thermostat and all. My car's OBD-II, using the software and my laptop, the coolant temp that the ECU sees never goes above 85 C (Thermostat is 95 C). Rad fan never comes on either, but I know it works.

I'm wondering if our coolant sensors are shot.
