Abstract
A load calculator detects a specific electric amount separately from an essential electric amount. The specific electric amount represents an electric power consumption of specific electric loads including at least one economizable electric load which is selectively turned on and off so as to serve as an objective to be economized in power consumption. The essential electric amount represents an electric power consumption of essential electric loads which are not economizable and essentially required for driving an automotive vehicle. A power saving promoting element promotes power saving by reducing power consumption in the economizable electric load with reference to the specific electric amount.
