Is yours the supercharged/turbocharged (I forget) engine?

Manual transmission makes it easier to squeeze out good results. You're on the right track: start keeping good records, work on your skills, and challenging yourself to improve on those regular trips/commutes.
Supercharged, and I have an aftermarket boost gauge installed. Manual 6-speed transmission.

Thanks for the support, I hope to post some worthwhile updates soon.
