Default 33psi @ start up and 0psi after shut down(fuel pressure)WTF!!!

Hi all, I got a question for ya..

When I shut my car off the fuel pressure on my guage reads 33psi, however after 20 minutes it's all the way down to zero, is this normal?

Vacuum (and other devices...) creates pressure, over time with no increased pressure it drops. Normal...
