ABSTRACT:
A device for indicating the fuel consumption rate of an internal combustion engine. The device includes a potentiometer having a sliding contact engaging a variable resistor portion to provide variable resistance between the contact and an output lead of the potentiometer. The sliding contact is mechanically connected to the engine throttle for adjusting the position of the contact such that the resistance between the contact and the output lead increases as the amount of fuel supplied to the engine increases. A meter for indicating the fuel consumption rate is included in an electrical circuit including, in series, a voltage source, the meter, and the potentiometer connected at the contact and the output lead. Circuit interrupting means are also provided to open the electrical circuit only when the throttle is in the idling position.
