Abstract

Abstract

Fuel consumption by the car in variable road traffic (in a city) strongly depends on the car driving way. Observation of driving parameters (velocity, fuel consumption) allows to access driving style and driver´s qualification. The paper presents statistics of the results obtained for many short-distant "economical" travels and the method of their valuation including many aspects.

Keywords: fuel consumption, driving style, driver´s qualification
