Hi,

I test drove a X today since I am tying to buy one...

I saw that under the MPG reading, there is a small bar that goes from 0 to 75... I guess that is also the miles per gallon... but then, why all the way to 75??? Why not make the bar shorter and more accurate that way?

BTW: What is your MPG reading right now?

Thx

 

it's instantaneous mpg. So if you accelerate to 80 and let off the gas then that bar will jump to full. I don't know why it is there. I think it's just their for entertainments sake. Above the bar it displays average MPG and MPH

 

Also, just for the heck of it.

Does the base GSR has any aux ports? or its only with the sound upgrade

thx

 

Having this guage go all the way to 80/90 is meaningless as you have to be well off the gas to get halfway up the guage.

I would much, much rather see it calibrated up to 30mpg - i.e. a bit over the maximum you could get whilst still cruising .... or better still, to simply display a number.

It could make it meaningful to see economy cruising at 60mph vs 70 vs 80 etc.

Do you reckon that a minor "aesthetic" thing like this could be updated by a mitsi in software flash?

 

it's an engine load meter in disguise. Could double as a manifold vacuum gauge also.
