Nissan has announced that it will equip all of its new cars with a fuel consumption gauge. While the technology itself is nothing nothing new, Nissan believes the addition of the device will increase efficiency by as much as 10%. When the accelerator is pressed, a meter shows the driver by how much fuel consumption is changing, the nation’s third-biggest carmaker said.
“When people have a fuel-efficiency meter on their cars, they tend to drive more carefully, trying to achieve good readings,” said Nissan spokeswoman Haruko Wada. According to Automotive News, the fuel-efficiency meter has been installed in some Nissan cars since 2006, including Skyline sports cars in Japan and Altima sedans in North America.
