Hey do y’all choose to display your MPG and range in your tach or keep it blank? Or choose to display something else? Typically I display the MPG and range, but I think I’m gonna try a blank for a bit.
Do you display your MPG or not?

I keep MPG on my display, since the gas mileage was one of the reasons I choose the Civic and the 2.0 L motor.
This is a good visual reminder to keep my foot under control.
It's been living up to the ratings. If Im soft on the gas pedal I get 40 mpg on the freeway around the city 33mpg. I use trip A for total mileage on the car (never been reset) and B for tank to tank (I've checked it a few times against calcu. gas use and mileage and it's very close). I drove the car in Sport mode and really pushed it for a whole tank and got 25 mpg.
If gas ever should come back down to $3 gallon, I will drive the car in sport mode and change the display...

I drive 120 miles a day and always have the MPGs displayed. My Si says I average 39.3 MPG, but if I run the numbers, it's off by 3 MPGs, so I actually get 36.3. I have a lot of back road down hills, so I cancel the cruise, kick the car into neutral and coast as much as possible. Fun to watch the MPGs tick up as I'm coasting 60 MPH at 800 RPM. My Si is a roller and on certain downhills I pick up 4 or 5 MPH, when the car coasts back to where I had the cruise set, I drop it back in 6th and reengage the cruise. I have a long commute, so it gives me something to do.

Glad it’s not just me with the MPG lower at the pump. Most recent fill had my tank at 37.4 but I got 35.3 at the pump. Still excellent IMO
Same, minus the turbo boost (Touring Sedan).
Love seeing the L/100 km drop on my lifetime L/100 km once summer fuel season starts and weather is better.
I keep my dashboard blank as possible. Having the car since September 2021, I kinda know how much MPG I get on average with my commute and driving style. It's nice having a clean dashboard.

I wonder if this choice also has anything to do with the semi digital clusters in the lower trims. Since the half digital cluster has a static speedo, I can see how having more info on the tech side would trigger some people’s OCD since it doesn’t look as “uniform”. On my full digital if I had one side blank and the other with either MPG or just music info, would probably drive me nuts too.
My dashboard gauge is consistently about 5-6% high - like, if it says 31.5 MPG between refills, and I divide the trip meter by gallons pumped back in to refill, it's 30.0 MPG or just a tick under (29.75-ish).
And overall, after over 15,000 miles of mostly city driving (where a distressing chunk of my "highway" driving is spent crawling at 15-30 mph, if not in full on stop-and-go), that's what my experience has been: 31.5 MPG on the dash.
If I get a good long clear highway cruise going (at 65-70 MPH) I see 37.5 MPG on the dash, so I'd expect that to be about 35.5 MPG "for real".
I am always aware of random little clicks, cracks, squeaks, thuds, thunks and thumps as well.

I do display my fuel economy and range sometimes, especially when I'm below a quarter tank and need to watch my range (so I don't wait too long to fill up the tank).
I try not to obsess over my fuel economy, plus I like the cleaner look of the digital plain gauges, so I often leave the gauges blank on a daily basis.

I have it on my Trip A. So far I've been averaging 28-30 mpg in stop and go traffic. I probably won't be doing much highway driving as our Passport is the long-haul vehicle.
