Digital Readout On gas?
I seen some older ( and some newer cars, such as the TL ) have a digital gas readout...i kinda want this feature in the max that way i will know xactly how many gallons n such i actually have left without fearing the dreaded orange gas light too much...i was searching google and couldnt find anything, is there a way to get a digital readout for gas on our cars?

this is one of the dumbest threads ive ever read .... like the other guy said you still have plenty of miles to drive after the gas light comes on ... how hard is it to watch your gas guage ... also set your trip odometer and LEARN your cars gas mileage ... this thread is dumb !

Once you know about how many miles you get on a fillup, you can almost ignore the gas gauge. You can also check how any mods or maintenance you do effect you mileage. You'll also never have to do the "do I have enough to make it" prayer, because you can predict how far your remaining gas will get you fairly accurately.

He's not saying he's too stupid to read the guage, he just would like the digital. What's the big deal?
nicely said socrates..

Devilz, do your max a favor by putting 93 octane in it. Your max will thank you for it

Im buying this car on Saturday, and dont worry I plan on putting 91+ in it. I just need to know if him putting 87 should be reason enough for me not to buy it. I drove it around on regular and it performed nicely, no knocking whatsoever. I do see that the 91+ should yiled some miniscule performance gains..hehe
