Abstract
A method for determining an expected consumption value of a motor vehicle for a predetermined driving situation—includes detecting actual consumption values and storing these values upon each occurrence of the predetermined driving situation, and further estimating the expected consumption value on the basis of the stored consumption values. Furthermore, a check is made whether the expected consumption value satisfies a predetermined significance criterion. If this is the case, the expected consumption value is used for a range determination for the motor vehicle; if this is not the case, an estimated value for the expected consumption is determined and used for range determination for the motor vehicle.
