A fuel consumption measuring apparatus for an internal combustion engine equipped with an electromagnetic fuel injection valve, comprising a fuel injection control means which calculates a proper value of fuel to be injected into the engine, and which then corrects this value in accordance with the characteristics of the electromagnetic fuel injection valve and controls the valve thereby, and a totalling means, which, in synchronization with the signals for controlling the valve, totals the values of the amount of fuel to be injected. In an embodiment, the totalling means is capable of subtracting a first predetermined value from the total held therein, and the apparatus further comprises a decision means which at regular time intervals judges whether the totalled value in the totalling means is greater than a second predetermined value or not; and, if it is, outputs an output pulse signal and also controls the totalling means to cause it to perform the subtraction.
In an electronic fuel injection control system for an internal combustion engine for controlling the ratio of an energized period and a deenergized period of an actuator which operates to open and close a fuel injection valve in response to a fuel injection pulse, which system includes a first means for determining a fuel injection amount based on intake air flow rate and other control parameters and generating a first signal having a signal value indicative of the determined fuel injection amount, a second means for correcting the value of said first signal fed from said first means and generating the fuel injection pulse having a pulse width corresponding to the corrected fuel injection amount and indicative of the ratio of an energized period and a deenergized period of the actuator of the fuel injection valve based on the corrected signal value,
