Just got my car road ready and started driving her today. Temp seems to sit at 190-195 the whole time. This is mostly town driving, under 40. Is this an alright temp, or should i adjust when my electric fan kicks in?

Your temperature is fine! As long as it stays close to the temperature cycling point of the thermostat that means the cooling system is operating properly.

Any temps between 170 and 220 are common and okay!
