Nissan has revealed details of a throttle pedal system that could save drivers up to 10 percent of their fuel use.

The system, dubbed the 'Eco Pedal', pushes back against the driver's foot if it detects that he or she are acting in a heavy-footed manner.

An indicator built into the rev-counter dial adds a visual reminder to encourage them to take it easier.
