BHG Yes?

1.Coolant leak that LOOKS like its coming form the head gasket.(stuff is in the way so i cant see)
2.Constant over heating. (about once a day)
3. EXTREMELY BAD gas milage. (13mpg)
4. Little to no low end power. (power kicks in at 3krpm a little, then really kicks in at 4)
5. When flooring it, there is constant power until 70-80mph where it actually slows down the catches back up.

Overheating is not from me pushing the car hard. I over heated going 65 on the highway for about 40 miles.
Thermostat is an 82°C(180°F) and brand new. Some people are telling me that temp is really bad although it is an aftermarket direct replacement(i think) from IMC.

Radiator has been changed and system has been flushed.

Car is a 97 Camry 4cyl. 5SFE 152,582 miles.

So does it sound like a blown head gasket?

If it were blown you probably wouldn't be able to do much of anything on the highway. Blown head gaskets usually are manifest by really cloudy oil or white smoke coming out the tailpipe.

Sounds like your thermostat, but I can't be sure.
