Same here on my 430. It usually sits at half way but has been known to sit a slight tick above. 55% percent you could say.

Crazy, I was going to ask the same question about the temperature of the car. Mine sits a tad bit above the halfway point. I will have to do a "flush" this weekend and maybe even change the t-stat w/ a low temp such as TRD.

My 01 GS430 needle always sits a little below the halfway mark once it is warmed up no matter how it is driven or how hot/cold it is outside.
