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!!!

When my fuel range indicator gets below about 20 miles it just flahes asterixes. Is this normal?

Here in the Greater Vancouver area, it cost me CDN$80.6 to fill up yesterday. That's US$69.82 full tank. We have the most expensive gas prices here in Canada ... thanks to the BC proviincial government who's raking in a lot of tax $$$ from hardworking British Columbians.

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.
