On the highway I see 30-31 MPG and the streets I see 23-24 MPG. It went up 1-2 MPG with the upgrade.

The increase was unintended but confirmed by GMPD.

FYI this was normal spritied driving not hypermiling.

not good if you're getting over 24 psi in boost. thats where you lose rings and will lose an engine. If you're getting over 22PSI there is something wrong.

Yes his quote stated MPG.

I usally see up to 21-23 PSI ond only a spike of 24 PSI on a rare occation.

I have added the MPG for the confused.
