Of course! But the idea of the label was so I'd know I was driving most
efficiently in each gear when I was driving at speed X. Or something. IT WAS
LIKE 4 YEARS AGO AND I WAS TRYING TO BE COOL. Now I just put pseudo-hybrid
stickers on my fuel lid from IKEA in an attempt to make people think I drive a
hybrid.
Like puting a Type R sticker on your non-Type-R Civic. Only much geekier.

It does. I've often had my music up too loud (typ.) and thought I was in 5th
when I was in 3rd. It doesn't become obvious until you lift your foot off the
accelerator and the car lurches.
So yeah. Here's my argument now then: I need a tach because my music is too
loud, and my engine is too quiet.
