Norm for Coolant Temp?
Approximatly what is the normal temperature coolant should be at when cruising on the hwy at lets say around 20C outside?
My computer is reading my coolant at around 98 pretty consistantly when on the hwy. Is this too high or low? Or is it just fine?

Typical. GM designed these engines to run very hot from the factory. Low fans don't kick on till 226 f, high at 235? I think...
Running this way produces cleaner emissions and it's a lot less work for the cooling system, at a cost to the performance, of course.
