I assume you mean that at a given RPM, you see some fluctuation on your gauge. How much fluctuation are you seeing?? I would suspect the sender or the gauge to be the problem.

The pressure will be lot higher when cold- because of the oil viscosity- After it warms up, it will be lower at idle and higher at road speed.

You statement doesn't mean anything without some additional information.,
