Method by which effect of variations in speed on fuel consumption can be calculated; calculation based on fuel power characteristics of power unit and resistance to motion of vehicle obtained from testing plant or bench test results; applications of method described with particular reference to steam railway traction; train operation for most economical use of fuel, or so that costs are minimized.
