Vehicle fuel efficiency display
First Claim
1. A method of presenting a fuel efficiency of a vehicle on a display, the method comprising:
- displaying a bar along a scale to indicate an instantaneous fuel efficiency of the vehicle;
displaying a first marker simultaneously with the bar along the scale and laterally offset to a first side of the bar to indicate an average fuel efficiency of the vehicle over a pre-selected range of the vehicle, anddisplaying a second marker simultaneously with the bar along the scale and laterally offset to a second side of the bar, opposite the first side of the bar, to indicate a greatest fuel efficiency achieved by the vehicle over the pre-selected range.

Abstract
A fuel efficiency display for a vehicle includes a scale extending vertically on a screen with a bar superimposed over the scale to represent the instantaneous fuel efficiency of the vehicle. A numerical representation of the instantaneous fuel efficiency of the vehicle is displayed above the scale and the bar. A first marker indicating and a numerical representation of the average fuel efficiency of the vehicle over a pre-selected range is displayed on a left side of the scale and the bar. A second marker indicating a numerical representation of the greatest fuel efficiency achieved by the vehicle over the pre-selected range is displayed on a right side of the scale and the bar.

13. A fuel efficiency display for a vehicle, the display comprising:
-
a screen presenting a scale displayed in a vertical orientation; a bar superimposed over said scale and configured for displaying an instantaneous fuel efficiency of the vehicle relative to said scale; a first marker disposed adjacent said scale and laterally offset from a first side of said bar and configured for displaying an average fuel efficiency of the vehicle over a pre-selected range of the vehicle relative to said scale; and a second marker disposed adjacent said scale and laterally offset from a second side of said bar, opposite said first side of said bar, and configured for displaying a greatest fuel efficiency of the vehicle achieved over the pre-selected range relative to said scale. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
