I liked the other two patches and applied them, but this one I'm not sure
about.

We have traditionally shown the gas we thought most "interesting". So if
you are diving trimix, the one with the highest He. If diving air, show
air. But if diving with multiple flavors of nitrox, it's debatable what's
most interesting. The bottom gas? The highest percentage deco gas? That's
why we do these ranges...

Before changing this I'd really like to have a conversation here on what
people would like us to display (and why).

Thanks
