Why no instantanious fuel consumption bar?

In my wife's 2009 C300 there is an instantaneous fuel consumption bar graph available to view in the main display.

Why has this been left out of the C63?

For the obvious reasons I think. I believe they don't want camera phone pics of Instant Economy 6 MPG.

no kidding... wife's glk has it and that already scares me. I'm not a guy who cares too much about MPG but even I can't handle watching that screen. I used to find myself looking at it and trying to drive efficiently. Then one day I said fk it, changed the screen and gunned it like i stole it... havent looked at it since

LOL how subtle. But what I found funny is on my Evo X MR compared to a standard CJ Lancer, the scale which was used for the instant fuel consumption graph had been stretched. Instead of having 10L/100km as the high point, it was 20L/100km!

There is a from start, from reset, what is missing is the instantaneous with a bar graph.

Here, let me help you...
Instantaneous MPG: VERY LOW

Lol... I am also the type of person who likes to know every detail when it comes to numbers. I actually noticed the same thing when I got a loaner car a few weeks ago.
All said and done, although it would be nice, I think MB left that out for obvious reasons.

They don't have one because crying and driving can be dangerous.

I went to the pump and premium is almost $4.50 here now.
