Thanks for all the information. I have come to the conclusion that my condition is fairly typical. I will move the yellow range on my AFS 4500 to start at 35psi and turn red at 37 psi or above.

My same setup runs 29-32 psi in cruise.

Default Acuracy?

What kind of sensors are you using? Here's been my experience on the same airplane (RV10 with AFP injection):

VDO sender: reads 27 PSI
Stewart-Warner: reads 30 PSi
Kavlico: reads 22 PSI

All I did was change out senders and change the calibration table appropriate to the sender. I need to get an accurate direct-reading gauge and stick it on there. However, I noticed in some of Rob Hickman's pictures that his reads 22 PSI with the Kavlico sender as well, so I'm thinking it's OK.
