First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fuel management system for motor vehicles comprising an engine;
- an accelerator pedal;
a deceleration sensor; and
an engine shut down mechanism, such that when said engine is running and said deceleration sensor detects a specific decrease in deceleration said engine shut down mechanism will shut down said engine, thereby conserving fuel when said engine does not require more fuel.)

Abstract
A fuel management system for a motor vehicle has a means for shutting down the engine when the accelerator is released and the vehicle slows down, as measured by the engine'"'"'s deceleration sensor. Moreover, when the transmission is put to park, or in the case of a manual transmission, when the parking brake is engaged, the engine shuts off.
