Abstract
Disclosed are a vehicle and a method of providing fuel consumption information thereof in which the influence of driver's pedal operation on actual fuel consumption, including a latent distance to empty (DTE), due to variation in kinetic energy of the vehicle may be displayed. The method includes detecting whether or not one of an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal is operated, determining guidance fuel consumption based on a change in an available coasting distance according to a change in a vehicle speed due to operation of the one of the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, which is detected, and outputting the determined guidance fuel consumption.
