Many engines will also make the best power around 212*F or even hotter.
It is best from the thermodynamic point of view to keep an engine hotter. For every calorie of heat energy you lose is wasted fuel.

Kingtal0n is right, but I prefer a max temp of 194°f for a street car, it's something I can control if it creeps up and I get the best milage from it. When beating the car I keep temps around 185°f max.
110°c or 110°f? If °c then you are too hot, that's 230°f and if you meant °f, you're to cold, 43.3°f
