Description

technical field

[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to controlling the fuel economy of an internal combustion engine system of a vehicle, and more particularly to controlling the fuel economy of an internal combustion engine system based on the mass of a load being transported by the vehicle. Background technique

[0002] In view of stricter regulations and higher oil prices, the automotive industry is aiming at reducing the fuel consumption of vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. However, one known tradeoff associated with reducing fuel consumption (eg, improving fuel economy) is a proportional reduction in performance (eg, power). While some prefer improved fuel economy over performance, others desire performance over fuel economy. Consequently, recent advances in the automotive industry attempt to satisfy the need for both types of driving preferences by reducing fuel consumption while minimizing performance loss.

[0003] Some engine systems are...
