Anyone else think..

I feel like the MPG instant gauge is useless. The metering should be from 0-40 at most. It's range is 0-100, which is useless. Usable range would be 10-30. So I dint know what they where thinking.

Also,I think the seats lack adjustments. The front of the bottom of the seat doesn't go up high enough, and rear is not adjustable at all . I find this a bit weird.

i've averaged the average MPG screen to filling at the pump by calculating mileage divided by gas gallons and its pretty accurate

Mpg doesn't really matter that much to me. When you average 11mpg in city and 23 highway who cares.

I just thought the range of the instant mpg readout should be 0-30 moat of the mpg is ranging from 10-20 when you drive anyway. So anything after 30 is useless. I don't see how 40-100 was needed to be used.
My ls400 had a numerical reading which showed exactly what you were getting.

Again, not a big problem, but I like gizmos and gauges so the accuracy would be super cool.

I would love to have a system that would show temp reading for engine, oil, tranny, voltage . Stuff like,that.
