Yeah, sits on about 4 while on the throttle, maybe a bit higher if really caning it. At idle I'm not quite sure, but I think around 2-2.5 or there abouts.

Mine says about 2 at idle, about 4 to 4.5 when I'm accelerating. I've worried that it's low... but it's the same as it's always been, and no problems, so I'm guessing it's cool. I'd probably fault the guage before I'd worry about the engine, personally.
