This is odd. I find if I baby my car the entire tank of gas, I'll get around 210-220 per tank. If I have some long spirited drive mixed in, I'll get 230-250. It's strange. I guess it's an excuse to go for spirited drives

If someone was stealing gas, I'm sure you'd notice the needle going from 1/2 tank to 1/4 when you got out to getting back in. So I seriously doubt that one.

I don't even hit -3 PSI when I'm daily driving. Hitting 10 PSI while shifting means you are just gunning it too much.

If not that, have your car checked out.

have you done a boost leak test. more than likely you have a line off of your intake manifold or something drastic. your car will over compensate for the air by adding more fuel.
