Reference Consumption and Weight Questions

[Jared]

Probably a simple question but I want to make sure I’ve got it right...when entering settings for the trip it asks for “WH/MI @ 65 mph.” Is this asking for my average WH/MI that I get when averaging 65mph?

 

also “Extra Weight”... does this option want me to include passengers? Basically it wants to know all the weight in the car outside of the stock weight of the car?

 Thanks!

@Jared Yes, you can enter your personal reference consumption at constant speed of 65mph. But normally there should be already a standard value for your car model as default.

Extra weight is all about the official empty weight of the car including 75kg for the driver. 
Yes, you can include the other passengers and luggage. 

I optimized the German translation of this option to get a better understanding. At the moment I don’t know if the original English version was also improved. I will check this.

Might be better to just leave out a standard driver weight because that will vary widely, and let users enter a value.  That, or clearly state that 75kg is assumed.

In consultation with Internio the description for English version is changed.
