it should read around 14 all the time. it should actually be constant when you're on the highway, because of the steady high rpm. your volt gauge might be inaccurate though. i always double check with a voltmeter across the battery when the car's running. i'm going to invest in a whole set of aftermarket gauges soon, so i don't have to worry about inaccuracy.

It always worked properly until i replaced the alt and the battery.
Also it will read slightly below 13 if the car is cold. once it gets to temp, i can watch the gauge go to about 14.
I had the charging system checked at NAPA, and they said everything is ok.
