My guess is the sender is shot. It reads about 30 when the car is cold, higher under acceleration (of course) but once it warms up... the needle hits bottom. I guess its time for a new sending unit, huh?

good guess, i suspect the sender too. either replace it or add a mechanical gauge to the engine so you know the true preasure before changing the sender.
