Default What do you leave the multi info display screen on?
After a month of owning the 2IS, theres one question I still can't answer...

Which peice of info do I leave the display screen on?

So far, I leave it mostly on the gear position.

And please dont kill me if i forgot one in the poll

Current MPG bar.


Although I really really wish there was a current MPH on that display.

Mine is on outside temp, until I fall under 1/4 tank of gas...then I switch over to tank range.

i agree with the previous two posts. I leave mine on outside temp, until the gas guage falls below 1/4 tank.

I really wish they had a current mph and a elapsed time since start on there.

I forgot to mention why I leave it on gears...

I like to use slap stick sometimes depending on my driving situation...and i like to know if the car downshifts without me actually downshifting.

99% of the time it's on gear. I'm almost exclusively paddle shifters now. The other 1% of the time is when I cycle through to see outside temperature and range.

Cheers,

Current MPG bar. I like to see how much money I'm burning.

Mine's on Outside Temp most all the time.

Every once and a while I'll put the Current MPG bar up, but not very often.

Course, the fun one is getting to the top of a hill and start a long downward coast in 6th gear, reseting the AVG MPG to 0.0 and seeing yourself getting 80 MPG!

Cheers,

Same here. I sometimes put it on current MPG, but then I start looking at it and get depressed to see how much gas I'm burning.
