Seems to me that if your engine temps drop well below your tstat rating
then either 1) the tstat isn't closing as it should 2) the temp gauge or
sender is faulty or 3) you're running downwhill.
No matter how efficient your fan and radiator I would expect the the
temp to stay at least as high as the temperature rating of the
thermostat (since a closed thermostat blocks the fan and radiator
combination).
