I'll add that I'm not a fan of the electronic fuel gauge. I can never tell if it's blinking slow or fast. Some things should just be analog. Like a watch. I can't tell time on a digital watch .

Huh? You just read the numbers. Not sure I understand how you cannot read numbers.

It's 12:40 right now. "Twelve Forty". Numbers are kind of an important part of life.

No, to me it's 20 till 1:00.

My problem with the digital gas gauge bars is that they jump instead of flow. Say you get to 1/2 tank and the gauge is exactly correct and shows you 4 bars out of 8. Then you drive 50 miles and there are still 4 bars. You can't still have 1/2 a tank. I want to see what's between 1/2 a tank and 3/8 of a tank.

As to telling time on a digital watch, I was being a little funny . The truth is that I prefer using an analog watch for the same reason. I don't want to see minutes jump from one to the next I want to see them flow from one to the next. Just my preference as there were no digital watches until I was older (or calculators, I used a slide rule).

But I do look at my watch at 12:40 and think 20 of.
