As long as the car isnt stalling out I wouldnt worry about it. Maybe you can adjust the TPS and see if that helps. I wouldnt pay for a tune just to up my idle. But like I said if it isnt stalling I think your ok. Your lights dont dim or anything at night do they?

Around 550-600 in drive here, but like others have said, unless you're experience adverse effects, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
