The Thermostat starts opening at 87 deg C so this looks good.

its weird but Mercs have always hovered around higher than middle. my dads 1984 SEC500 does the same thing. its weird because on my other cars, it doesnt give like a numbered temperature, just stays in the middle of C and H

You are wasting your time & fuel.

Modern conventional wisdom says that you should drive straight out of your garage after starting but to go easy on acceleration , do not labour engine or use high revs until the operating temperature is achieved.
