How to Check Vehicle Safety and Fuel Economy with ChatGPT
Check Vehicle Safety and Fuel Economy with ChatGPT and ToolRouter. Produce formatted safety and running-cost comparison reports for vehicle decisions.
Tool
Use ChatGPT with Vehicle Data to pull safety ratings, fuel economy, and recall data and produce a formatted vehicle comparison document. ChatGPT is well-suited when the comparison needs to be shared — a procurement comparison, a family car decision document, or a fleet evaluation report.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Vehicle Data tool:
- List the vehicles to compare and any parameters — annual mileage, fuel price, or specific use case.
- Ask ChatGPT to run `safety_ratings`, `fuel_economy`, and `check_recalls` for each vehicle.
- Have ChatGPT produce a side-by-side comparison table with safety scores, MPG, estimated annual fuel cost, and recall status.
- Ask for a recommendation with a brief written justification.
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Vehicle Data tool
Use vehicle-data to compare 2022 Toyota Corolla and 2022 Honda Civic on safety ratings, fuel economy (12,000 miles/year at £1.60/litre), and recall history. Produce a comparison table and a recommendation with a short written justification.
Tips
- Include estimated annual fuel cost in the table — it converts MPG into a number everyone understands.
- Add a 'recall severity' column if any recalls are outstanding — not all recalls are equally serious.
- Format the comparison for the actual decision-maker — a fleet manager needs different emphasis than a family buyer.
