Default DIC display

What display do you keep up on your dic? When I first got mine a few months ago I watched ave. MPG cause I was amazed! Now I'm watching oil temp and coolant temp to catch problem earliest?

When I first purchased her I use to watch the MPG and a few others but now I dont watch anything but If I think something going wrong I would check the different displays for current status. I do roll though all of the screens to see that everything is normal once a week or so.

I leave it on oil temp, however when I am running the car hard, I put it on tranny temp.

I do have the DIC setup, so when I am transferring from guages to fuel, to whatever...

INST MPG
OIL TEMP - MAJORITY of the time.
TRIP A

Here are mine.

I normally leave mine on oil temp. All the others are on the analog gauges.
I check the fuel mileage and tire pressure occasionally.
I wish all four tire presures were shown at once. My DD, '05 Acura RL, shows all four at once. You have to push the button twice on the 'vette to see all of them. That's my rant.

Blank works best. It's better to keep your head up and not looking at the display so you can be focused on the road ahead to dodge flying debris, cones, flying hubcaps, quick changing minivans, cigarette butts, pot holes, etc, etc.
