poorly lit display solutions?

I find it kinda hard to read the countdown on the miles left.. but by then I have a pretty good idea.. look for a gas station !! .. I get 51 or 52 mpg consistently, so the trip odometer helps me.. plus I carry an extra 1/2 gal of gas in 2 fuel bottles.. the only time I used them was to help out a couple that had run out of gas in the mountains.. I keep them in one of my saddle bags.. along with tools and flat repair stuff..I was hesitant on keeping any clothing in that bag, figuring it would be contaminated with the smell of gas.. to my surprise, after testing, there was no smell !! .. the fuel bottles are in a vertical position and have a tight seal..I can't begin to tell you how comforting it is, knowing I have them when I am running low on fuel and on one of my mountain rides where gas stations are hard to find.. speaking of thumbs.. I still haven't gotten used to that new horn position.. I practice regularly when out on a ride, hitting the horn without looking..
