I leave it off unless I'm looking to monitor something specific like oil temp or water temp.

Looks like everyone is different, just like I suspected . I pretty much leave mine off as well. Especially at night, it takes away from the cluster. I am really digging the 3-d look of the cluster :bow:.

Tire pressures at startup, oil temp during warmup, average speed on trips just for entertainment, range when gas is low.

Usually off, although I like reading the wrong oil temp it displays. 90 degrees out and the car has been running for 45 minutes and it'll say 45 degrees. I gotta get that fixed.
