It sounds like you might have a bad stat from what you describe. Many fail stuck open and the engine does not get to the proper temperatures, or the temp drops when at speed. To check. Cold engine, parking brake set, let it warm up slowly and feel the upper rad hose. If the stat is not closing, the hose will warm up slowly as the engine warms up.... bad stat. If the hose stays cool until the engine is hot and then the hose gets hot suddenly, then the stat is working normally. But a stat can still be off-spec and do this. Again, at the proper BB you can find out what the normal position is for your temperature indicator. A bad stat will make a mess of your engine and plugs and MPGs.
