1.1 Factors Affecting Accuracy

Actual fuel costs and consumption can vary due to:

• Driving Conditions: Traffic, road quality, weather, elevation changes
• Driving Style: Acceleration patterns, speed, braking habits
• Vehicle Condition: Maintenance, tire pressure, engine health, age
• Load: Passengers, cargo weight, roof racks
• Fuel Prices: Fluctuating daily, varying by location and fuel grade
• Temperature: Extreme cold or heat affecting efficiency
