None of our guages seem to be linear, unfortunately. What is the needle'* position on the gauge? That'll do a little better for us, IMO.
If your heater sucks, then I think that may be a clue to your thermostat being stuck open.. but lets get the above, and go from there. No need to jump to conclutions.
