Abstract
A fuel-consumption monitoring system for motor vehicles with manually-shifted transmissions is indicated, this system generating, from a processing operation involving performance data which are specific to the vehicle, as well as fuel-consumption data and operating-condition data, an output signal which is correlated with the instantaneous fuel consumption of the vehicle, which system is also capable of being activated, for example by output signals from a gearshift-recommendation transmitter, to emit a consumption-difference signal which is a direct measure of the fuel-consumption reduction which would be obtained if the gearshift-recommendation were followed. This lower-consumption signal is preferably displayed in liter/100 Kilometer units and is triggered only when a significant fuel saving can be achieved by a change of gear.
