Default So what does your DIC display?

I use my DIC alot.
But most of the time, I keep it on oil temp.
Just curious what other people set their DICs at.

I usually leave it on oil temp, at least for the first 20-30min of my drive, then I'll put it on avg mpg. I usually toggle through all of the settings when I'm stopped at a light though.
