phil:                                                                           
that's the word!  i think the Kraftsstoff part means something like fuel/       
gasoline and i think the sanzeige part means gauge, but i can only guess        
on the rest.                                                                    
i was also interested in the text describing the boost gauge since this may     
explain which models have it or why mine doesn't.                               
i didn't bother posting the text because it goes on for awhile and i'm          
not sure it would be understandable without the umlauts and other various       
symbols.
