Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for determining fuel economy are provided. The method includes determining whether a trailer is connected to a vehicle and trailer profile information of the trailer connected to the vehicle, calculating a first fuel economy according to a first calculation for determining fuel economy if the determining determines that the trailer is not connected to the vehicle, calculating a second fuel economy according to a second calculation for determining fuel economy if the determining determines that the trailer is connected to the vehicle. The calculating the fuel economy according to the second calculation is performed based on the trailer profile including at least one from among trailer identification information, trailer weight information, trailer aerodynamic information, and trailer fuel economy offset information. 提供了一种用于确定燃料经济性的方法和装置。该方法包括确定拖车是否连接到车辆以及连接到车辆的拖车的拖车配置文件信息,如果所述确定确定拖车未连接到车辆,则根据用于确定燃料经济性的第一计算来计算第一燃料经济性,如果所述确定确定拖车连接到车辆,则根据用于确定燃料经济性的第二计算来计算第二燃料经济性。基于拖车配置文件而执行根据第二计算来计算燃料经济性,该拖
