Fuel feed information offering device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To display oil feed relative information corresponding to the travel state of a vehicle by displaying a message indicating that fuel needs to be fed and the position of a service station when the travelable distance is smaller than a reference distance. CONSTITUTION:A mean fuel calculating means (a) and a fuel rest detecting means (b) find mean fuel and the rest of fuel. Then a travelable distance calcu lating means (c) calculates the travelable distance from the calculated mean fuel and fuel rest. A reference distance setting means (d), on the other hand, sets the reference distance according to the travel state of the vehicle, e.g. a fast travel, a traffic jam travel, etc. Then a fuel feed information display means (e) makes a specific display when the travelable distance calculated by the travelable distance calculating means (c) is smaller than the distance calculated by the reference distance setting means (d). This display includes the indication of the need for oil feeding and position information on the service station capable of feeding fuel according to the travel state of the vehicle. Thus, the fuel feed relative information can be displayed according to the travel state of the vehicle.
