    Abstract: A method for improving fuel efficiency testing precision in on-road vehicles. The method comprises: installing one or more dataloggers in one or more vehicles, each datalogger configured to receive fuel consumption data broadcast by an on-road vehicle's engine control unit (ECU); transmitting the fuel consumption data from the one or more dataloggers in the one or more on-road vehicles to a processor; and analyzing, using the processor, the fuel consumption data from the one or more dataloggers in the one or more on-road vehicles to determine fuel efficiency of the one or more on-road vehicles. The fuel consumption data comprises fuel rate data from the ECU which is transmitted through the one or more dataloggers, engine speed and other operating parameters from the ECU that are transmitted through the one or more dataloggers, torque sensor data which is transmitted through the one or more dataloggers, and traditional fuel log data.

    Abstract: A system for providing fuel type recommendations includes a mobile polling device communicatively coupled to one or more computing devices installed on-board of a vehicle for receiving vehicle's operational data from the on-board computing devices. The system further includes a cloud-based computing environment including a memory configured to store one or more processes and a processor adapted to execute the one or more processes using the cloud-based computing environment. The processor, when executing the one or more processes, is operable to receive vehicle's operational data from the mobile polling device. The processor is further operable to analyze the received vehicle's operational data to identify recommended fuel type and to provide one or more fuel type recommendations indicative of the recommended fuel type.
