Default HUD Changes

Is there a way to change what gauge you want on the HUD in a 2011 GS?
When on a road trip I would like to put the gas gauge up there. Thanks

On my 2005 there is no option for doing that, but...if you are running low on fuel, the HUD gages turn off and a "Check Gages" apears in my display.

Page 5-31 of the 2011 owner's manual tells you what you can display on the HUD. Gas gauge is not one of them.

. Speedometer
. Turn Signal Indicators
. High-Beam Indicator Symbol
. Tachometer
. Manual Paddle Shift Gear
Indicator (If Equipped)
These displays on the HUD are
for use when using the manual
paddle shift controls to shift the
transmission. See “Manual
Paddle Shift” in Automatic
Transmission on page 9‑28.
. Shift Light
This light is used for
performance driving to
indicate that the vehicle's
best performance level has
been reached to shift the
transmission into the next higher
gear. An arrow pointing up will
light up on the display just prior
to reaching the engine fuel
cut-off mode. This cut-off is
about 6,500 RPM for the
LS3 engine, 6,600 RPM for
the LS9 & ZR1 engines and
7,000 RPM for the LS7 engine.
. Check Gauges Warning
. Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
. Transmission Fluid Temperature
Gauge, (Automatic Transmission
Vehicles Only)
. Engine Oil Temperature Gauge
. Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
. G-Force Gauge
. Boost Gauge (If Equipped)
. Audio Functions, Street
Mode Only
. Navigation, Only with Navigation
Radio, Turn-by-Turn Guidance

IIRC, you could display the fuel gauge on the C5 HUD, but not on the C6.
