[DeTomaso] oil gauge follow-up question

I mentioned in my last post that I installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge and new sending unit for the stock gauge.
 
The cool thing now is they both read the same (the stock gauge must have always been reading low), but my question is this:
 
When I first start the car, the gauges read pretty high, 60 or 70, then move down to about 40 or 50.  When driving, the stay at about 35 or 40, but when idling at a stop light, they go down to about 17 to 20.  Is this normal?
 
Thanks,
 
Chris
