**NOTE- I’ve search for the following terms before creating this thread.... Gas Gauge, Fuel Gauge, Digital Gauge, Combustible Liquid Level Indicator. If I missed it, kindly point me in that direction. Thanks.**
Would you like to see an addition/change to the fuel indication in numerical form?
The idea here is to replace of the gas pump symbol with a numerical fuel level in the center of the on-screen display's gas gauge. Like the numerical addition to the tires (10 to 0), the fuel number would go 100.0 to 0.0, turning red at 10.0 liters (formally 2.0 liters). I'm far from an artist, so hopefully you get the idea. Keep the gauge, change the symbol to numbers.
Sure, it’s already divided into sections of 25 liters, and isn’t a big deal if you drive a car like the Mazda 787B, Honda HSV-010, Lexus/Toyota GT500, or even the Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 where you get a digital readout in cockpit view. For the other cars, you’ll have a better idea of exactly how much fuel you will have, allowing you to do the math on the fly, like figuring out your liters per lap or your next refueling stop, since pausing in the pits is not an option and not realistic.
I’ve added a poll to see and show what is preferred if you choose to “like” this idea. The reason for the tenth decimal place, and my choice, is so that you will know if you need to round up/add a liter to your refueling strategy. Pulling a “Goggles Paesano” (Fred Flintstone) at the Indianrockolis 500 and running out of fuel (in Fred’s case disintegrating tires) near the start/finish line would stink. (Little humor doesn’t hurt).
Thanks for reading and have a safe day.
