reality, no change. well, actually, worse since the energy to pressurize the tank isn't free, but it will show nearly double.
True, the trip computer is calibrated to the stock pressure (more pressure = more flow). Also trip computers only read fuel injected at the injector. Force fuel through the canister/evap system, and its like "free" gas that the trip never sees.
