Some suggestions for the power/MPG status display

Just in case someone at Ford is reading, I have some suggestions for improving the power and mileage status display:

On the moving bar graph, how about an option for each bar representing the last mile (or KM) instead of the last minute?
Show both electric motors instead of one "virtual" motor.
Show numeric current/voltage levels for the main power runs.
Percentage charge display on the battery (the green/white color doesn't do it for me.)
Display friction-brake usage (is this possible? I think it is possible to derive it even if there is no sensor.)
Numeric current MPG.

That's my current list. Anyone else have suggestions?

You can have all that and more today, for a $169 "upgrade".

Also totalize standing time at stop lights when the ICE is off. I do not think this important energy saving information is part of the MPG equation!

all good ideas. How about coolant temp and oil pressure?
