Thanks for the tips.

I am running about 40PSI.

My problem is me and my wife drive the same car. I have been trying to convince her to try to get better MPG. This last tank while she was driving, she set in line picking up the kids a school and let it idle each day. Also During a softball practice 2 times this week she watched the practice in the car with the AC idling. 16 mpg looks awsome to me compared to what we were getting in our Dodge Ram which was 6mpg or less. I know I can get way better than 16 because with only me driving I can get in the mid 30's. My main thing right now is getting her on board.
