For you guys that have boost guages... That is a lifesafer too.. Try to keep your boost low. Boost guage reflects the throttle directly. (More skinny = More Boost! = Less MPG)
This is just like the gassers with a vacuum guage...
I know some of you set your cruise at 65 MPH and let it go... Take some time and consider your hills. I've got over 300 miles of rolling hills and valleys. On the downhill runs go for the 65 MPH on the up hill side you might back down a bit to 55-60 MPH. I've notice this little drop will reduce the boost about 5-10 PSI. No since in racing over mountains when it only affects your $$$.$$ at fill ups...
