Yeah...and your temps drop below that on a very regular basis. The stat temp rating tells you when it will open...nothing more. Trying to match the stat temp to what you car is doing is arse backwards...the temps your car is running at is NOT normal.
And I'm not going to tell you some BS that I'm not sure about...especially as something as simple as a thermostat. The only time anyone would need a 180 deg stat is if it gets blazing hot outside (like it does in Phoenix). If your cooling system can't handle a 190 stat, you've got bigger problems.

IJ - I'm betting he doesn't have a stat installed or it's stuck open.
