Abstract
A vehicle monitoring system that monitors operation of a first vehicle on a road to determine an amount of fuel actually used by the first vehicle on each of a plurality of stretches of the road, and to use that amount of fuel used by the first vehicle on stretches of the road to determine an estimated range that a vehicle can travel based on a current fuel amount of the vehicle. The fuel is preferably electric charge. An embodiment crowd-shares the data between vehicles, so that a vehicle can get information about the battery consumption on an actual stretch of roadway.
