Default normal driving temperature?

I think my car may have a slightly open thermostat. My gf has a '95 dx and I have a '93 dx. Her
car seems to warm up very quickly. Once we get the car moving for about 3 blocks it's already
close to the middle (a little lower than middle). My car takes much longer to get it close.

Actually, if I'm driving on the freeway or something, it never gets close. It's more like 1/4
of the way. If the weather is cold, it's lower. Is this normal or does it look like
the thermostat might be open when it shouldn't be?
