For those living less than about 1000 feet above sea level:

0 inches vacuum is about 14 PSI MAP
5 inches about 11.5 PSI
10 inches about 9 PSI
15 inches about 7 PSI
20 inches about 5 PSI

So you are right in the range of "forget P&G", and use DWL and DWB.

The exact conversion is 29.92 inches to 0 PSI at sea level, decreasing 1 inch per thousand feet. And 0 inches to 14.7 PSI. That's why I said "about" in the above table.
