I like to use DTE when I'm low on gas. Other than that, i like to use speed or temp.

I mainly use the speedo to help avoid tickets from camera's and cops. I like having the digital readout right there. But I switch around the settings as well.

LOVE the "heads up" speedo display.

Can't believe they replaced that with a clock in the 370.

mpg on longer trips but I give up once it doesn't go past 23 so I just have fun by getting happy go lucky with my right foot. But for the most part, I leave it on speed and tire pressure.

MPG or Tire Pressure. I find it interesting to watch the tire pressure rise as the tires build heat during a drive. Also nice you can check all four, wife Volvo only has the idiot light for when the tires are low on air. I check the temp every now and then too. I find it annoying when stuff flickers in a display like that, so having it set to speed would drive me crazy since its constantly changing. To bad it doesn't have a G-force meter

And seriously its a clock on the 370Z? Talk about lame

Mainly on Temp. During the Winter, I check the tire pressure to ensure the temps come up and then switch back to Temp.

Used to be on Temp. But the Oil Coolers must have been placed next to the sensors and now the temp gauge is displaying 15-25deg f deg higher than the actual temp LOL.

So now I just dont care whatever is on that display.

Same here. Got down to 36 degrees here recently and the word "ICY" lit up in the display also. Cool thing...
