Abstract

This invention, UEI FUEL & DRIVING MONITOR, will monitor and record on a SD/Flash memory card, the events that exceed the proprietary software/hardware preprogrammed for acceleration, braking, left and right turns, or swerving. The events will be recorded and retrieved by a PC program for analysis of driving habits. The LED lights will give the driver immediate visual and audio output of their driving and fuel consumption by displaying RED=POOR, YELLOW=FAIR, GREEN=GOOD, by modifying their driving habits to drive mostly in the GREEN=GOOD area they will be able to conserve fuel, be a safer driver and also reduce wear on the vehicle. This is new technology using proprietary hardware and software developed by Universal Energy Innovations, LLC.

Claims

1. The UEI FUEL &

DRIVING MONITOR with the proprietary software and hardware will allow the driver to modify their driving habits, which will increase mileage to save fuel/wear on the brakes, engine and also allow them to become safer drivers.

1. The events will be recorded and retrieved by a PC program for analysis of driving habits. The LED lights will give the driver immediate visual and audio output of their driving and fuel consumption by displaying RED=POOR, YELLOW=FAIR, GREEN=GOOD, by modifying their driving habits to drive mostly in the GREEN =GOOD area they will;

2. Achieve better fuel economy. Independent test have shown that if you take your time and slow down you can increase your mileage by driving smoothly avoid jackrabbit starts, over braking, sharp left or right turns and swerving. Conservative driving may increase miles per gallon in all vehicles Auto or Trucks by an average of 3% to 10%, which equates to 1 or 2 gallons of fuel per tank fill up.

3. Become a safer driver Independent test have shown that by modifying your driving habits, reduce jackrabbit starts, excessive braking and swerving, will help keep your vehicle under control.

4. Reduce wear on the automobile, brakes, tires, and engine.
