ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for deriving the fuel consumption ratio of a motor vehicle by delivering a preselected quantity of fuel to operate the motor, measuring the distance the vehicle travels on the fuel supplied and displaying the measured distance in units of distance traveled to fuel consumed, such as miles per gallon or the like. Fuel delivery and distance measurement are simultaneously initiated manually and are simultaneously terminated automatically upon completion of fuel delivery with the measured distance remaining displayed until the apparatus is reset.
