Hours vs gas used estimation

FWIW, 2012 *has* hours, to the decimal, per engine. Yeah, you have to scroll through the display.
Blip the ignition and the gauges come on. Push the black rubber buttons to scroll through the options. NOTE: if the engine's not running the gauges only stay on for about 30 seconds and that may not be enough time to scroll thorough all the options. If they shut off, blip the starter again and continue the process.
Pretty certain that the gauge cluster was the same until connex system came out...
 
So, to get everyone up to speed, as predicted by several folks, the hour meter was just not accessible without going to the "more" menu in the guage cluster. I figured it out in about 5 minutes when I went to check it out. It was all good and the PO was a great guy. It ended up having 92 hours on both engines. Long story short, I bought it and it's currently in my driveway!20201006_151045.jpg
