i don't know if it's normal, but that's usually what i get, about 30 idle and 60 most other time.

That looks ok to me, other than the fact youre going 75 and trying to take a picture. Oil change might bring it up a little too if you havent done it in a while, thermal breakdown.

Thats a pretty low mileage car, and the blurring makes that pic pretty damn cool too
