Default oil pressure gauge bouncing at 70mph..???

i have a AutoMeter Electric Oil Pressure gauge for only about a month, everything works fine , and cold start up will be on about 60-65 psi, when it's warm up and is on idle it'll be about 25psi, and normal driving is usually on 50psi....except when i reach the speed of 70mph on the interstate the pressures will just suddenly bounce up quickly to 70-100 psi unless if i slow back down to 65mph or so it'll be on 50psi...also when the car is on park and if i rev it up to 6000+ rpm the oil pressure also bounce really quick up to 70-100 psi and goes back down to 25-50psi.. is something wrong, maybe the sending unit, bad ground?? need help ASAP!!!

the engine vibrations are messing with the sender.......

I'll bet it is mounted to the engine and not the firewall
