Does the gauge seem to flick quickly, if so it may well be a connection problem somewhere. If it drops as you drive along, and rises again when stopped or slow its probably the thermostat stuck open slightly.

When my thermostat was failing, it did the same as yours for a while and progressively got worse until it wouldn't get past the quarter mark - so yours could be on it's way out.
