When you have your display MPG as you're driving, mine seems to lower as I'm idling (as if I'm using up more gas) and the mpg is increasing (as if i'm getting more miles out of the gas) as I'm giving the car gas.

Does this sound right?

Maybe I'm starting to lose it, but I could of sworn that the boost gauge needle was always on ZERO when idle?

And when you would drive it would go to +20 (the needle would move towards the passenger side.

My car's boost needle is at -20 when idle (needle is pointing towards drivers side) and hardly past 0 when I'm stepping on it.

Is that normal? I could of sworn it was not like that a week ago?:frusty:

Gauge reads vacuum when not in boost.

Alright, so I'm just losing it? Can you verify the MPG? I was using the one where it shows you immediate (not the 20/30 minute one).

It's normal, when you are at idle you are getting 0mpg so it is going to drop

Thank you. I guess I was just thinking it was one way and not another.
