The driving manner has an enormous influence on the fuel consumption of cars. Possible savings by changing the manner range from 10% to 60%. The described invention can help to unlock this potential. It comprises an assistance system, which captures the characteristics of the way ahead of the driver, e.g. using a navigation system, and then calculates driving recommendations in the form of “tasks”. The tasks are suposed to motivate the driver to adapt his driving, resulting in a changed manner in the long run. It is possible to implement a broad and extensive gamification-concept based on the invention.
