Im not to privey on times, but maybe you lost a sec in the temp, humidity, tire pressure was diffent, etc, etc.
Turn the key one click and listen for the pump to prime. Just let the car sit and see if the pressure drops drastically.
LMK was the results are.

While the fuel pressure sounds "normal" at idle, just checking it at idle isn't going to show up filter or pump problems. You need to check the pressure at WOT/max load/max rpm, and insure it stays within 1 to 2psi of the "no vacuum" idle pressure.
