1996 CSE Coolant temp sensor Q's

Alright so I have a '96 CSE that I have noticed recently has a temp gauge that is starting to act funny. The gauge will only move to a little above the blue mark and sometimes move a 1/4" above the blue. It never gets to the middle. The heater blows hot air and the hoses seem pretty hot also. I just replaced the water pump about a month ago.
This really wouldn't be an issue except for now my car seems to not be getting as good gas mileage as it usually does. I know a bad CTS could cause the car to run rich if it thinks the car isn't warm, but I thought I saw that my car has a sensor for the gauge and also one for the ECU?
The only other explanation I have is that my Michellin Blizzak's I just put on for the winter are causing the drop in mileage.
Any suggetions on what to check.
I haven't purchased new tires for my alloys yet since I'm planning on upgrading to 16" Aeros after my tax refund next year.
Thanks for all the help.
