This reminds me of a weirdness with some sat navs: the distance to your exit/destination is displayed as: 12 ... 11 ... 10 ... 10.0 ... 9.9 ... 9.8 ... with the value 10.0 shown only while the distance is between 9.95 and 10. It's not really a bug but it's strange seeing the display update from 10 to 10.0 as you pass the imaginary ten-mile milestone so perhaps it's a distraction worth avoiding.

Mercedes for awhile had a fuel gauge that showed 1/4 1/2 3/4 1/1

They had another one that went R 2/4 4/4

I'm still undecided which was more weird. You can see them both on eBay.

  • There's nothing weird here. Those are very common fractions used across several domains, including cooking.

    But one thing that I would really love to see are actual liters or gallons (depending on the country where I am at the moment).
