Disclaimer

The purpose of this project is to make users aware of environmental issues and in particular the effects of fossil fuel combustion. The results of the calculations presented here serve to prove to what extent driving style influences fuel consumption and therefore the costs for users and above all the impact on the environment. Due to the necessary simplification of complex technical factors and to the difficulty in recording precise consumption data, however, these results do not have scientific value. The data in this project’s database are submitted by users. Presets containing unusable data (eg, clearly unreliable) are removed. A limited number of presets, containing data collected from sources considered to be reliable, have been inserted by the admin to populate the database during the initial phase of the project. Data entered by users into this database are not personal and do not allow to determine their identity. Users can request at any time, indicating the code generated by the system at the time of saving the preset, the modification or deletion of their data. In addition to what is specified in the website’s cookie policy, only technical cookies are used for this project in order to save users’ preferences (units of measurement). For information, suggestion or any reason, contact the admin through the specific contact form.
