Ever since I got down here to FL for spring break my car is reading between 24 and 26 in. of vacuum, back in NC it would hardly ever get to 22, and once and a while after a hard run drop to about 26 but now very often. So my question is, is this normal, could I have a leak, although I think if it was a leak I wouldn't have as much, I'm not sure, somebody give me a hand.

Thats what I was thinking, but I didn't know if it would make a difference or not. Thanks for answering so quick!!

I think most folks read 20-22. Maybe your gauge is off?

I'm here in Boston area- runs between 20 and 22 depending on how many items I'm running like lights, fan and so on.
