1. A method for determining fuel usage rates, comprising:

  • receiving a test control signal at a fuel usage monitoring controller, wherein the test control signal relates to an operating parameter of an engine, wherein the operating parameter is not directly related to fuel usage rates;

    measuring a test fuel usage rate of the engine;

    correlating the test control signal and the test fuel usage rate to obtain a correlation from the test control signal to the test fuel usage rate of the engine;

    developing an algorithm corresponding to the correlation between the test controls signal and the test fuel usage rate of the engine;

    receiving at least one control signal relating to the operating parameter of the engine; and

    determining a fuel usage rate of the engine based at least in part on the at least one control signal and the developed algorithm.
