It lives showing about 10" vacuum when the engine is off. It came to rest at about that level both times, and now I just subtract 10" all the time. Even so it's useful to give a moment-by-moment idea of how well you're doing, but if yours does better, I'd love to know.
Where did you connect the gauge?

Vacuum is maintained in part of the system even if the engine is turned off...
