Agree -practically speaking that’s what I do as well. Despite my gauge being ‘calibrated’ a) it is hard to see while driving, b) it moves around a lot while driving (will go up and down quite a bit based on temperature, acceleration, cornering, etc) and c) I am ready to get out of the car and stretch my legs after 2-3 hrs driving anyway
