    Only 15- 16psi.. its not octane learned.
    After octane learned its usually around 17-19psi.
    Makes a sufficient difference.
    My 2024 Hyundai Elantra N with the DCT easily and daily gets mid to high 30s Mpg fuel economy in ECO mode.
    Fantastic car for the money.
    Fun and economical in every way.

      ​@dominicg2456 but it definitely sounds like you are an Albert beirmann fan! Why can't they have hyundai N x BMW m instead of Toyota? Because then it's honoring Mister biermann. It's interesting that there isn't any car clubs or shows that have a crossover of these 2. Also gotta love the "bubble butt" of the veloster, which adds onto the personality of the car (and the 3 doors? No, velo owners would get sick of the 3 door jokes)

    The biggest thing with the Type R/Type S is they are "Weight Bullies" in which they cost way more than most the segment and are the best in the segment hand down. But compare them with stuff in the price range like 2SS 1LE, Mach 1, M240i, M340i, 8V RS3, F8X M2, M3, M4, CT4V Blackwing.... Do I keep going? Reviews love to compare these cars when the N is 10K+ down in MSRP it makes me question why people do. Cause ive seen comparisons of FL5 vs the aforementioned options and man does the propositon really fall apart in all cases except the 8V RS3 cause that car does handle like the others.
