Ditto. Always. I like to see what type of mileage I'm getting on each tank.

That's only because they have such a small Nav screen. I'd prefer the huge Nav screen in the GS with more limited information in the instrument cluster. Also, with HUD it displays the next turn.

O.A.T. or, if you are not an aviator, outside air temperature.

The first thing I noticed when I got in the GS was that it's instrument cluster is nice but feels dated. It has no "graphics" or anything. Not a big deal but it just feels behind say the Kia Optima, Grand Cherokee or a few other vehicles that come to mind.

No hate, I just can't help but think that every time I look at it.

I'd be lost if I didn't monitor the outside air temperature.

I actually like it since it isn't overloaded with crap and is fairly elegant. I just wish the info it did present was actually useful to me while driving. I could care less about avg mpg - if I wanted to hypermile I'd buy a Prius. Range is sort of useful but that is what the fuel gauge is for.

Such as what info?

Our Grand Cherokee has a big screen in the center that houses the virtual speedometer:



It displays a ton of different screens with lots of info...none of it is particularly useful when driving.
