I guess I'm lucky. My Canyon has a real temperature gauge, although without numbers. The needle comes off the peg at 130 deg F, hits the 1/4 mark at 160 deg, and the half mark at 190 deg F.
The gas gauge, however, is an interesting exercise in over-computered tech geek computer programmer time wasting. For instance, it goes to zero after any EOC more than about a mile. It bounces right back after a low fuel warning in the DIC. It goes to zero and stays there after the first long EOC after filling the tank. Etc.
