It looks from here like you are measuring a situation where
vb_product_readings is fully cached in RAM.  If that's the normal
situation in your database, then you ought to decrease the
random_page_cost setting to make the planner's cost estimates reflect
your reality.  The default setting is intended to model situations
where a fair amount of disk access is going to happen.
