2016 Chevy Colorado LT, 2WD, Automatic, 2.5L, extended cab.

What is the normal oil pressure range for this 2.5L engine at idle in neutral and at 70 mph / 2300 - 2500 RPMs ( (flat road cruising with no excessive load on the engine) when the engine is at full operating temp?

It’s common to see on the dash display, 27 - 30 psi when stopped at a light with the transmission in neutral and 36 - 40 when cruising on the free way at 70 mph / 2300 - 2400 RPMs with no excessive load on the engine.

This just seems low to me.
 
Those numbers are just fine, in fact the idle numbers are higher than one would normally see with some engines at idle and oil up to normal temp. I wouldn't give those numbers a second thought.
