Post subject:  Running cold lack of power?

As the title suggests I have a F10a that, when the temp gauge shows half motor runs great at highway speed (for a 1 litre), but occasionally the temp will be slightly lower than half and it seems to lack power any suggestions? if the thermostats is no good could this effect power?
Thanks

It seems running the little motor on the highway calls for high revs, leading a lot of air through the radiator from the fan. Which leads to a cooler running temp. Unfortunately I wouldn't know any solutions to fix the "problem", perhaps replacing the sump oil with a more viscous type, so that the oil isn't causing resistance from being colder.

I bet someone has pulled the thermostat out at some stage. If the car starts to run cold the thermostat should close and maintain temperature.

Start with the thermostat.
