It's not quite like that one but it does show avg and instant mpg.

Been wondering this myself. Does anyone have a pic? Or more info on how it works? Thanks.

It just shows the number in the information display in the tach. Nothing fancy :)

Never owned a car with this option, as I used to be in and out of rental cars 24/7 I found it to be relatively useful. Kind of excited, even with the no frills display.

I wish the BRZ instrument cluster lit up blue and white like a G37 sedan. I'm sick of red-like orange

Unfortunately it does not display the estimated miles left in the tank, only the average mpg and current mpg.

Hmmm, my Legacy shows miles left in the tank, I wonder why they wouldn't continue that on this model and I know the WRX has it too.

Geez, the gas gauge wasnt enough technology for ya?

I like that it has this feature as something that I could choose to pull up... might feel better not seeing it :burnrubber:

I think VW has the best system for the average, current mpg, and miles left to empty.

Lytheum 05-17-2012 02:11 PM

my mazdaspeed 3 has the same thing. generally those built in mpg ratings are off. some are worse then others...still think miles/gallons is the best.

I just thought it was nifty so i ended up using it a lot plus thats when i was broke so I was always stretching tanks lol. So when i switched cars i didnt know how depended i had become on it. Weird I know.:bonk:
