How much over 80?

Have you checked your coolant level at the reservoir bottle?

If the temp goes up while you're at speed, it could mean clogged radiator, low coolant, dirty coolant, dying water pump or bad thermostat.

If the temp goes up while you're sitting still, it usually means bad thermostat or dead radiator fans.

If it were me, I'd check the coolant level and do a pressure test on the system for leaks.

If that all checks out, I'd try a coolant flush and replacing the thermostat.
