I drive on the Gulf coast of Florida. 75% of it, is in medium traffic. not on freeway speeds

Being around 98 degrees & humid, my A/C keeps my temp around 195 to 210. No overheating, & the temp is pretty consistent.

I was wondering if I get a slightly lower thermostat if the temp would be slightly lower too? ( Or would the opening/closing at a lower temp, more often, not help?) >> fan clutch is new - BTW
