Abstract
A method of and system for automatically operating an automotive vehicle in such a manner that a desired distance may be driven with a given quantity of fuel. The system is such that after a rate of fuel consumption has been determined on the basis of the fuel available and the distance to be driven, for instance, a control monitors and adjusts the output of the engine of the vehicle appropriately. Manual operation of the vehicle in this manner is made possible by actuating perceptible warning signals whenever the vehicle is operated in a manner deviating from the desired performance.
