ABSTRACT:
When the vehicle speed is within a range equal to or greater than a threshold value in which the vehicle is often cruised, a cruising accelerator opening is set as an accelerator opening needed to cruise the vehicle at the vehicle speed, and a cruise-purposed convergence opening corresponding to the amount of depression of an accelerator pedal requested of a driver is set at the time of cruise. An offset opening is calculated as a deviation between the set cruising accelerator opening and the set cruise-purposed convergence opening. Then, the accelerator opening for calculating a power needed to run the vehicle is set at the sum of the offset opening and an pedal opening corresponding to the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal.
