naa mine isnt like that but only because I use a pump to supply my water at 120 PSI. it still drops off a bit but only to about 90 PSI because the volume of the pump is good enough to keep the PSI up.

I do think your drop through a 1/4" line is a little large. befor my pump in my old house I would get about a 3 PSI drop, not 35 PSI, but I guess that could have to do in how you are supplying the water and where the PSI is measured.
