It is not normal for the gauges to reset each time you start the car, as others have suggested it can be caused by a failing battery--check the battery voltage while cranking the engine, it should be greater than 10.5V. If less than the battery has a one or more weak cells and should be replaced.
One other thing to check is fuse 2.21, a 5A fuse in position 21 of the central junction box fuse panel, under the dash. This fuse supplies a constant +12V to the instrument cluster to maintain it's volatile RAM.
