Consumer-information about fuel consumption of various car makes is considered an important contribution to fuel economy policies in many countries. It has been decided in Denmark to distribute a yearly official leaflet with standardized measurements of fuel consumption at constant speed 90 km/h, in city-driving and mixed driving, information about expenses for yearly 15000 km driving, weighttax and other taxes. Regulations of fuel consumption were rejected by EEC, but assumptions were investigated through computer simulation described in this report.
