My EGT normally runs between 800 - 900 degrees on the highway. After coming out of the mountains on the way home I noticed that they were reading much lower than normal for the rest of the way home. They were running between 600 - 700 degrees. My question is, are they too low? Gauge gone bad or something else? Any ideas?

That would make it a little cooler.
