Abstract:

This report is an assessment of fuel flow instruments reading directly in miles per gallon (mpg). It describes currently available mpg meters, their installation, utility, and safety and presents an analysis of potential cost savings. It discusses means of encouraging purchase and the use of mpg meters as add-on equipment and considers issues associated with the mandatory installation of mpg meters in new cars.
