MPG does matter when your not on the track. Just going back and forth to work I usually strive for the highest MPG possible.

I wonder if the water temp gets hot does it switch over to that screen? I know it makes an audible ding when you are low on fuel... which happens all too often LOL.

The SAWC screen is where it's at because I like to see how the diffs are distributing power when I go through some haripins. This tells me how close to the edge I am. I'm still nervous pushing the X through sharp bends, but everyone says let the SAWC do it's job. I'm not used to being so close to the limit.
5.00$ a gallon of gas and you are not worried about MPG?

110 is up to 7.50

Yeah, it would be good if it switched to water temp if it started getting too high.

I can't imagine driving around without it showing the water temp. I wish it was a true gauge so I could see it all the time and have S-AWC up. However, it's virtually impossible to see the S-AWC gauge around corners when the wheel is turned!

I'm keep it on the TRIP, I like the Average MPG screen but I am so use to keeping track on how much fuel I put in and how many miles I've traveled thats I just feel uninformed if I can't see how far I've been driving since I've filled up.

The S-AWC is pretty entertaining and interesting at the same time to glance at but I always wonder whether I should be looking at it instead of keep my full attention to the road.

Water temp or SAWC. Gas Mileage would just make me try and drive slower.

The SAWC will get me in trouble though because I have tried to see how many bars I can get during normal driving.
