The 800-900 is the tank pressure. The other is your output pressure and would guess that is probably x10, or 50-60 psi output pressure. I never notice mine fluctuating, but to be honest never sat and watched it. The gauge doesn't have enough graticules for me to differentiate in that area of the gauge. What type regulator do you have?

tank pressure will change with ambient temperature changes . It will go up when temp goes up. this is normal and until extreme temperatures ( fire) are reached there is nothing to worry about.
