power is we no longer stay on the gas pedal as much. I like to accelerate briskly, so the more power i have the less time i spend using the go pedal.

I get better mileage chipped. More boost gets you there faster with less pedal.

Default I just got back from a 1,000 mile trip. All hwy one way, got 30.1 mpg

On the way back, all two lane road with hills, towns, and lots of boosted passing. Got 27.3. All results manually calculated. But then my car is 'broken in' :-)
