I've got a 1991 900 too with 90K miles on it. I just had a coolant flush and new thermostat installed too. My indicator hovers right at half way or maybe a smidgen above when driving on the highway, but as soon as I begin to idle in traffic, the temp indicator goes up to about the 2/3 level, then tapers off to a little above halfway again when the fan turns on. Incredibly, this is actually normal according to the Saab Master Tech I took it to in St. Louis. I worried about it a lot when I first got the car, but the higher temp levels are apparently just characteristic to Saabs. No other car I have owned has <ever> had a temp indicator so hyperactive and so prone to jump above the halfway mark than my Saab. Kinda scary, though, when you're caught in traffic and you're gauge is rising and rising. I'll probably plan to get a new radiator next summer anyway, but at 57K you're probably okay for another few years.
