As a dealership mechanic, I WISH they got rid of guages and stuck to idiot lights. For 95% or car owners (none who frequent this forum!), that would be enough. Too much info is usually a bad thing. Who cares if a coolant temp guage is slightly higher than normal - when the bells and alarms go off, stop the car!
And that is why OEMs make their "guages" so vague. If you need more, buy a ScanGuage.
