On a factory guage mine is about 45 PSI..65 PSI while driving around...keep in mind that we are looking at info from a major POS guage/sending unit. If you really want to know what your oil pressure is try using a real guage instead of the factory crap on your dashboard...

Could changing the oil maybe help a little?
i live out in houston and friend of mine works at chevrolet so he changed the oil and put 5w30 in it and i was having oil pressure problems so i went ahead and did a change at my house and went with 10w40 and haven't had a problem since. i idle at around 40 warmed up
