Default What is your Computer Pod set to most often?

Just was wonder what people leave their Comp Pod display set to. I find that I am addicted to the Speedo, Its bad, my eyes don't know where else to look for the speed, if I have it set on something else. Just courious what do you guys use?

I keep mine on MPH...

While cruising on the interstate I switch to Tire Pressure and see that everything is ok...

Then back on MPH...

mph, I find it difficult to see the speedo gauge for some reason, small and too the side, and glancing at the digital speedo just registers quicker for me.

Definitely MPH. I'd be lost without it - my poor analog spedometer is lucky to catch a glance every now and then as my eyes pass over it to the comp.

I couldn't be happier about the layout though - I read the tach just as often, and it's a nice unobstructed view through the steering wheel.

Right, easier to read digital MPH & quicker.

For some reason lately, I have an obsession with trying to maximize my fuel economy. I keep mine on 'average mpg/mph' just watching and waiting to bump up an extra .1 average mpg as I drive 55 in 6th gear with the AC off. I need to go back to the temperature.

I generally leave it on the fuel range (miles to go until empty).

Having two speedos is kind of inefficient don't you all think?

Of course, the other info available is not that useful so I can see why so many leave it on speedo. I wish I could set it to oil temp. That would be very nice.

speedo. i find the stock one difficult to read too. it is easier to glance at the digital readout....

or sometimes i use the temp just to see how hot it is.

mostly outside temp. i agree with the Jason Bourne, 2 speedos kinda redundant. also, i get kinda hypnotized by the changing numbers.....

Speedo most of the time, temp when it is very hot outside (as I'm curious as to where the hot spots are when driving), or sometimes the gas DTE so I can gauge the fluctuations so as to better ascertain when I should fillup next.

MPH but I always monitor the fuel range, tire pressure, and it's always nice to know what the temp is here in SoCal!
