It was time for regular service, so I took the car to Saab Service Center ~30 miles away. It was just a few degrees above 0°C. While on I-93 at 70mph engine temp. was moving in between 75-77°C. It only went up to 80+ (and the middle position) while idling at the Service Center parking. My Saab Master Tech says nothing to worry about here (no CEL).
If this was one of those simple cars 30 years ago, which I mostly maintained myself, I would suspect thermostat not fully closing and would replace it.
I'll see what happens when it gets really cold here...
