Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for improving a distance to empty (DTE) of a hybrid electric vehicle. The method includes: a hybrid control unit of the hybrid electric vehicle performing a warning against gasoline fuel exhaustion at a gasoline fuel exhaustion point in time depending on the DTE; deciding whether or not a mode of the hybrid electric vehicle is changed from an HEV mode into an EV mode depending on the warning against the gasoline fuel exhaustion; and driving the hybrid electric vehicle in the changed EV mode, and again changing the mode of the hybrid electric vehicle into the HEV mode when all of the electricity amount is exhausted at the time of driving the hybrid electric vehicle, thereby exhausting a remaining gasoline fuel.
