Thanks for the info but Man....at $350 that Fluke meter better be able to fetch me a cold beer while I'm taking the reading ☺. I'm not looking to really drill down and get the exact reading with the best meter on the market....just wanted a ball park reading to see if my in-dash gage was reading low and it is.
