ABSTRACT:
A vehicle performance analyzer which determines and displays instantaneous miles-per-hour, miles-per-gallon and miles-to-end-of-tank. The instantaneous outputs are calculated by a microprocessor using a vehicle speed sensor coupled to the drive shaft of the vehicle transmission, a fuel flow sensor introduced in the fuel line between the fuel pump and the carburation system and an analog-to-digital electrical signal converter connected to the electrical fuel gauge. The microprocessor is directed by a resident program contained in read-only memory, which also contains a calibration procedure allowing the person installing the device to accurately calibrate the device to the particular vehicle on which it is installed. This eliminates the need for a variety of special sensors designed to meet the variable needs of different makes and models of vehicles. It also eliminates inaccuracies due to variances in some parameters of different vehicles of identical makes and models.
