My 88 audi has this too, and range till empty. I had a 79 volvo 242 with light malfunction indicator too. It is always funny when you realize how old tech is.

I also think the crazy aston lagondas had this in the early 80's

The Aston Martin Lagonda and Cadillac Seville had that in the '70s.

lol perhaps mid-2000? Alpine's all look so similar, haha. But it's not that green color they originally had for the buttons.

I wonder if any Mars Climate Orbiter-type incident ever happened due to the confusion between UK gallons and US gallons.

Late 70s Generous Motors products had a fuel economy gauge (far right in this Caprice)

Here, our good friends over at the Hooniverse wrote about a 1976 Olds with a similar one: http://hooniverse.com/2011/04/02/hoo…
