The In-Vehicle Driver Feedback study will enable the Department of Energy to establish a rigorous scientific basis for informing consumers about the potential fuel economy benefits of in-vehicle fuel economy feedback devices. The target population consists of 150 volunteer households who are AAA insurance policy holders who carry minimum automobile insurance coverage and hold a valid driver's license. If this testing confirms that fuel economy feedback devices can enable drivers to achieve measurable improvements in fuel economy, the information will be made available to the general public via the Joint Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency Web site, https://www.fueleconomy.gov.
