Abstract

A display controller calculates a driver-related fuel economy value and a performance value indicating an amount of difference between the calculated driver-related fuel economy value and a baseline value. The display controller displays the performance value on a display device during vehicle operation. A memory in the vehicle stores a number of initial fuel economy values that are replaced by the driver-related fuel economy values as new driver-related fuel economy values are calculated. An oldest fuel mileage value stored in the memory is replaced with a newly calculated fuel mileage. The baseline value used to calculate the performance value is an average of the number of the fuel economy values stored in the memory.
