Well that doesn't sound good. I am not a mechanic so I don't have the tools or knowledge to perform such a test. Is it safe to drive it a few miles to a local shop like it is?

If it truly is 80 lbs. of oil pressure as your gauge reads, you risk blowing the oil filter off the engine with prolonged use.
