The oil temp is different from the water temp. The analog gauge is water temp. The EVIC shows you oil temp unless you go into the hidden menu.

I've never heard problems with gas mileage. What do you mean it's gone? How many miles do you get before it's on empty?

Hold down the music and compass buttons on the steering wheel for about 10 seconds. Then you will get a menu with several pages including speed, rpm, water temp, EVIC version, etc.

With my 170 tstat the normal reading is about 176 after the car has warmed up and I'm either cruising or have the fans on. If the ambient temps are above 100 then the water temp will probably be greater. Yes, it's the analog dial on the right side.
