Fuel Observations...
Just a few things I have noticed...
Does anyone know how/why the car can/will show a different distance to empty on the gauge cluster warning and the status screen on the Nav unit? Mine is commonly 1-2 miles different. Not that it matters, just curious. Also, the status screen shows the distance left after the gauge cluster area shows --- This morning the status screen went all the way down to 6 when I filled up, the gauge cluster went --- at like 10.
Also- fuel prices suck! $50.50 to fill up today at $2.89 /gallon. Upon fillup, it said I had 323 miles to empty, ughhh!!!

I know many other places in the world have a lot higher gas prices than the US, but I still complained about my $55 fill-ups. I stopped complaining as of this past December when I was in Hong Kong. My friend stopped at gas station to fill up his ML350. He charged HK$1200 (more than US$150) and his tank wasn't completely full yet.
