Is it wrong or do you have a leak?

Nothing wrong, the car was just cold. I was joshing around a bit.

My pressures show oddly some time... I swear this is true (or maybe not), that if my car is perpendicular to the sun, my sunny side will read higher. I have an expensive Longacre, oil-filled gauge, and the dash is not always spot on... a pound off... In short, the car's system is not super accurate.

The sun will heat up the tires on that side making the pressures higher. That's not odd and actually shows that your sensors are quite sensitive.

Tire pressures way too high. Most tires should not be much above 40PSI when hot.
