Ugh... That's the worst. If you REALLY have to save space, put a display behind the speedometer needle.Space constraints are at the top of the list of constraints. Analog dials waste space because of the sweep of the rotating indicator arm. Digital reproductions of an analog dial face continues the waste of space, very limited dashboard real estate. Thus the best solution is digital only. I have found the best available example of the idea:

Jack Webb portraying Sargent Joe Friday of Dragnet fame said it best: "Just the facts ma'am." That is most desirable, just the facts because there isn't space for anything else.
