(keeping in mind it's about 3 degrees celcius where I live right now)
Car warms up slowly... the colder the air is, the longer it takes to warm up, but never reaches half way on the temp gauge, only to the first quarter. It sits at the quarter mark in city driving with moderately warm air coming from the heater, and when I get out on the highway, it goes lower than the first quarter mark, and the heater doesn't really blow any hot air. The top heater hose is hot and the lower hose is just warm after driving for a while. No coolant loss. Mileage isn't that great (possibly unrelated, but a cool running engine probably doesn't run that efficiently)
Thermostat right? Stuck open?
