Claim Text:
1. An engine-powered vehicle, comprising: an actuator for changing engine power; a measuring instrument for measuring an actual value for fuel consumption; a fuel consumption regulator for pre-setting a value for a desired rate of fuel consumption to be measured in real-time being pre-set as a setpoint value and with said fuel consumption regulator being utilized for automatically and autonomously controlling engine power and engine speed, wherein said fuel consumption regulator performs a comparison of the actual value for fuel consumption as measured by said measuring instrument with said setpoint value for the desired rate of fuel consumption to be measured in real-time and matches the actual value for fuel consumption to said setpoint value by automatically and autonomously changing the engine power and the engine speed via acting upon said actuator based upon the comparison of said setpoint value for the desired rate of fuel consumption measured in real-time and said actual value of said fuel consumption; and, means for deactivating said fuel consumption regulator via depressing a brake pedal or a clutch pedal of said engine-powered vehicle.
