Either you meant to hit H and hit G or you are referring to the gauges that show how many miles you have left of gas??

i think that is more on the useless side.

its good to monitor how much gas i seen on the average, but if you need to get the car moving there's nothing thats going to make the needle stop moving from getting poor or low gas mileage.

i think its just better to do average miles/tank kind of method.

i meant MPG. my friends BMW has a needle MPG gauge and i just thought it'd be cool to have to see how much gas i use. just wondering if anyone has heard of any aftermarket ones you can install. thanks for the help anyways...
