Multi-functional vehicle fuel display

A digital fuel gauge comprising:

• a plurality of discrete bar segments that collectively represent a capacity of a fuel tank, each individual bar segment representing an equal unit of fuel and is displayed in one of only two display states, a fuel consumed state and a fuel remaining state, wherein each bar segment changes size based on an average fuel economy value for the unit of fuel to which it corresponds upon transitioning from the fuel remaining state to the fuel consumed state.

A fuel gauge comprising:

• a plurality of bar segments that collectively correspond to a single tank of fuel, each individual bar segment corresponding to a single unit of fuel and having either a fuel consumed state or a fuel remaining state, each bar segment in the fuel consumed state is sized according to an average fuel economy value for the unit of fuel to which it corresponds;
• and
• a fuel economy indicator superimposed over at least the bar segments in the fuel consumed state, the fuel economy indicator corresponding to a fuel economy value.
