What year(s) had an MPG gauge?
Well? What year(s)/models came with the funky "mpg" gauge in the Tachometer?

My '84 has one too. I like using it when I'm putting along in traffic TRYING to drive normal. But when I'm getting on it, there are other gauges that are more important

Its not worthless, its used to adjust your cruise speed for best fuel economy. Meant for highway usage.

The mpg gauge does not use vacuum.
 Was there ever a white marked tach with the MPG gauge?

yeah, I never liked the early yellow guages and mine are white. it would be cool to find a tach with the MPG since mine doesn't have it. Not too keen on the ricerboy white background conversion. It just doesn't look right on these cars.

You guys have cruise? I'm on the flip side of the coin, I'd back date. I have always enjoyed seeing the tach winding down, and watching the mpg gauge.
