I agree with the above two posts. It's surprising that something that works perfectly well - outside temp, should be re-engineered into something that doesn't work at all.
My car spends the night in the garage, so we start each day with a coolish 60 degrees or so. All my driving is on San Francisco local streets, going above 12 mph for more than 60 seconds is actually rare - there's a stop sign or traffic light just about every block. So the temperature is usually way off. By mid-day when it's 75 degrees out, the gauge has managed to adjust all the way up to 63.
