If you didn't think this was unusual, you probably wouldn't be asking the question, so my guess is your engine is running hotter than it should and you should have a couple of things checked. First of all, you need to make sure you have the correct thermostat for the engine in your car and that it is in working condition. If it is, then you may need to have your radiator flushed so that the fluid can circulate better and stay cooler.
