The ecoRoute feature calculates your vehicle fuel economy, carbon footprint, the fuel price of navigating to
a destination, and offers tools for improving fuel efficiency.

The data provided by the ecoRoute feature is

you will be asked to enter fuel and mileage
information about your vehicle.

current fuel price, your Kenwood unit calculates
the average fuel economy for your vehicle,
your carbon footprint, and the cost of the fuel
consumed.
The fuel consumption data is based on estimates
for speed and acceleration for an average vehicle.
