Number of passengers

Question for the user

What is the average number of passengers in the car?

Input help

A car consumes roughly the same amount of fuel whether it has 1, 2 or 5 passengers on board. So travelling with several people means potentially dividing your individual footprint by 5!

🤔 But this is not an easy question: it's likely that in the course of a year you'll have gone on vacation with 3 people, taken the car every day on your own, and so on.

Try to estimate a rough average: if every day you take the car by yourself, put 1 or 1.2. If you only drive with family or friends, put 3 or 4.

In a future development of the simulator, we'll be able to separate the questions by type of journey: vacation, home-work, daily with a customizable number of travellers.

Of course, if you're driving yourself or taking a cab, the driver doesn't count, as he's there to help you make your journey.
