1- Yes, I think the question OP actually had was why was there just one digital readout gauge in "gauges". When in tech diagnostic mode, it clearly has access to a lot more digital feedback than just Tranny temp.

2- If downward pointing arrow denotes the side the gas cap is on, then it's on the wrong side... :-)

I just checked this on my lunch break, and yes under the trip gauges on gallons used there is an arrow pointing down. I should have taken a pic. I dont know what this arrow means other than maybe the fuel level is going down?

I'll have to watch when I fill up and see if it points up?

I found this pic online, I think the OP means this arrow, which i circled in red.

I'm guessing it has an arrow down just to illustrate fuel going in, or being used.

I been wondering the same thing about the downward arrow.

I apologize, I should have been a bit more specific in my first post.

Exactly, that's the arrow I'm speaking of. And yes, I have a manual and it mentions nothing of this said arrow. Unless I simply overlooked it. I'm an engineer so little things like that aggravate me when I don't know what it's for. I'm assuming, like others, that it means fuel is going down, but seriously???? Wouldn't common sense make that assumption? LoL

And yes I'm aware that I have an analog and digital gauge for transmission temp. However, my tuner can pick up boost, coolant temp, EGT's, air inlet temp, etc. It would be awesome if Ford put those digital readouts available to the driver at all times. I find them useful especially while towing. Gear selection vs boost pressure while ascending a grade, etc.

My best guess.....it is pointing down to the average MPG that is being used...

The gauge tells you the amount of fuel used and the arrow is pointing down to the MPG.

Anyone else have any ideas?? Haha

I was not guessing....it is as I said. The arrow points to the MPG average. The whole screen is a trip over view. The time, distance traveled, the amount of fuel used and the average MPG.

PSI - FYI my "gal used' is always LESS that my refill amount. So be careful.
I have no idea what that arrow is all about.

Same here, usually off by 1-2 gallons. Which means the MPG for your trip will be overstated by the trip computer. My hand calculated mpg is about .4-.5 lower than the trip computer.
