ABSTRACT:
Fuel consumption is estimated by counting the number of cycles of operation of the cylinders of an internal combustion engine and multiplying by a constant representing the fuel consumed for each cycle. Rate of consumption is measured relative to time and distance. The cycles are counted by sensing the ignition spark or revolution of the distributor rotor.
