Default Re: I miss my tachometer!

What use is it to know what the rpm's are on a hybrid?
It's like knowing what temperature the upholstery is.

No matter what either is, you aren't going to change your driving habits.
Even if you knew what the wind speed, and direction is, outside the car,
you won't change direction, or speed, to compensate.

The information is absolutely useless to the driver, when you think about it, that's why you won't see a tachometer in a hybrid.

It would just be dead weight, (and one more thing to go wrong,) to haul around all the time.
And you know that weight is the enemy.

You wouldn't want that now would you?
