Abstract

Data are examined from two experimental studies in which drivers were instructed to drive other then normally, with the traffic: for example to minimize fuel consumption or to minimize trip time. It is shown that minimizing fuel consumption on an urban trip is so complicated that even a "perfect" fuel economy meter would not enable a driver to achieve this minimum.
