I'm glad you said it, rather than me.

She says the instrumentation fluctuates too much and it stresses her.

What's the cure for that? Keeping one's eyes on the road, instead of compulsive fixation on the MPG gauge, maybe? But she drives in the Southwest, with very long stretches of open highway and little traffic. It's trance forming. Some drivers have fallen asleep at the wheel.

I've been there and understand it. (Including driving across the desert at night after driving all day before, and making sure I kept awake and lived to tell about it.) After too many hours of driving, when trying to fall asleep at night you still see the road coming at you. It pervades your dreams.

It's another world out there in the Southwest, where Atheria lives.

But she says the instrumentation on her new FIAT disturbs her.

Can we help her?
