What does your stock voltimeter gauge on your dashboard usually read--both at idle and at cruise?

Anyone else? I'm asking because I swear mine used to read higher than it does these days. I just want to know what is normal.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. No underdrives that I know of. I guess mine is normal. It's just that I remember the needle always being right below the line above the middle line. But then, this was before I was running my A/C all the time. Is this an indication that my battery is getting weak?
