Abstract
One form of an apparatus for controlling a fuel gauge in a circuit mode of a vehicle includes: a vehicle mode determiner configured to compare a damping time with a response time, and to determine whether a driving mode of the vehicle is a general mode or a circuit mode; a fuel amount calculator configured to calculate a current fuel amount of the vehicle based on fuel consumption (FCO) by the engine or a change in the resistance of a fuel sender based on the driving mode of the vehicle; and a fuel gauge controller configured to control the fuel gauge based on the calculated current fuel amount, wherein the response time is a time taken for the fuel gauge to actually descend to a state 'empty' from a state 'full' due to fuel consumption by an engine.
