estimate of fuel costs only. Other costs, such as Toll charges are not included in the
calculation.
Fuel Consumption Settings
Fuel Range Reserve: In the Multi-Route screen, there is a fuel icon next to each route
type which estimates if there is sufficient fuel available for the trip. You may also set a
fuel range reserve, so that you can ensure you arrive at your destination with a sufficient
fuel reserve.
Consumption: The consumption section allows you to set your vehicle’s fuel
consumption. This fuel consumption will then be used in the cost estimate for your trip.
Most modern vehicles include a fuel economy label which describes the vehicle’s fuel
economy ratings. Alternatively, to find out your vehicle’s fuel consumption, please see
the ‘Fuel Economy Guide’ at www.fueleconomy.gov. This guide is published by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It
contains an extensive listing of most vehicle makes and models.
Vehicle consumption is typically expressed as two fuel economy estimates:
• City: represents urban driving and driving in stop and-go rush hour traffic.
City driving typically consumes more fuel than highway driving.
• Highway: represents driving on a mixture of rural and interstate highway
driving, typical of longer trips in free-flowing traffic.
