Hi,
+1 - your engine does not always (perhaps even rarely) operate at the exact same temperature. Load, Ambient Temperature, Barometric Pressure, Humidity, Fuel Octane, DME Maps, Avg. RPM, even Wind speed and direction can all, or in combination, affect what the gauge reads. So, don't obsess about a static number, but as racer_d suggests, look for a range...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
