First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining whether a fuel usage of a first vehicle is less than a fuel usage of a baseline vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a measure of fuel usage for the first vehicle;
determining a measure of fuel usage for a baseline vehicle based on a state of the first vehicle;
determining whether the fuel usage of the first vehicle is less than the fuel usage of the baseline vehicle based on the measures of fuel usage; and
indicating whether the fuel usage of the first vehicle is less than the fuel usage of the baseline vehicle.
