Z drivers, which display do you put on the first gauge from the left?

Usually on speedo now, but used to be MPG.
The reason why Nissan put the tachometer in the middle was because they designed the car with enthusiasts who take it on spirited driving in mind. Nissan wanted the driver to be able to readily see the tachometer.
Everybody has their driving style, but the "correct hand position" is around 10 and 2 o'clock position on the steering wheel.

I never use the speedo, especially since it is 3 mph off due to my tires being "wrong". I use my NAV for speed which is 99.9% correct.
I should have said mostly on temp, switch to TPMS & MPG/remaining miles.

It's meant to mimic to feeling of racing. Race car drivers know they need to go as fast as they can, which is why the tachometer is centered for them to know when to shift accordingly on the race tracks. Although they should be listening to the engine itself of knowing when to shift as well.

^Couldn't have said it better myself. I HATE how the gauge switches to the temperature outside. Obviously I got into the car and it was cold enough to ice, you dont have to remind me.

Speedo. I have never looked at my actual speedometer.
I hate when the temp goes under 37 degrees and it pops up. They have been so many times I look and I go "holy **** I thought I was going 37mph, I'm going over 50!"
Maybe 1 day I will use that excuse on a cop. Probably won't work though.

When i said the position of the tach is dumb I meant the position for the speedo is dumb. Ooops! But Yeah sorry for the very very random post, i was just wondering because i was messing around with it a little to see what i liked best.
