Abstract
A method for consumption-optimized operation of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle is described, an engine output of the internal combustion engine being set as a function of a position of a gas pedal according to a manipulated variable, the gas pedal being adjustable in a first mechanically defined adjustment range between an initial position and a specific gas pedal position, the internal combustion engine being controlled with a consumption-optimized engine output with regard to the instantaneous engine speed by adjusting the gas pedal to the specific gas pedal position, the consumption-optimized engine output causing a minimal fuel consumption at the instantaneous engine speed.
