Abstract
In a fuel blending ratio detecting method, a first blending ratio of the methanol in the fuel supplied to an internal combustion engine is detected by a blending ratio sensor; an air/fuel ratio feedback compensation coefficient computed on the basis of an output of an O.sub.2 sensor is used to compute a feedback learned value, and the current blending ratio compensation coefficient is multiplied by this value to compute the next blending ratio compensation coefficient so as to obtain a second blending ratio; the current blending ratio compensation coefficient is multiplied by a peak mean value of the computed feedback compensation coefficient to compute the next blending ratio compensation coefficient so as to obtain a third blending ratio; and the first, second or third blending ratio is selected according to the operating conditions of the internal combustion engine. Thus, the selected blending ratio is always used as the control blending ratio very close to the true ratio, so that the internal combustion engine can be accurately controlled.
