Dead thermostat?

I have a '98 9000 auto with 149k miles. I live north of Boston and recently noticed that the thermostat is not rising much at all. I thought it was the frigid temps at first but am noticing after a warm up period and 20+ miles of driving that it's really not moving. There's no CEL or any other problems-- the cabin warms up ok, accelerates fine, etc. Any ideas what it could be? I'm just trying to hold onto the car a bit longer and not looking for big expenses with this anymore. Is it just a t-stat replacement and, if so, how much would that run me?
