Default High fuel pressure

When I installed my fuel gauge it read 58lbs every time I turned on the ignition, now today I actually drove it and it reads about 68lbs. When I turn the car on to acc the gauge goes right to 58 but when I start the car it goes to 68lbs.

Any thoughts?

Not even a "hmm, that's strange"?

It's an autometer sending unit and I'd assume it was bad if it didn't read 58 when the ign is turned on.

I would simply assume its something in the tune. Running the compressor for A/C is going to put a higher demand on the engine. ???????

Just a guess.
