1. A vehicle information system for a motor vehicle equipped with a first engine and a second engine, comprising:
- a first controller allocated to the first engine; and
a second controller allocated to the second engine;
wherein the first controller and the second controller comprise;
at least two distance measuring devices that are configured to acquire distances covered by the motor vehicle;
a current consumption acquisition device that is configured to acquire a current engine consumption; and
an output device that is configured to output the distances and the current engine consumption;
wherein at least one of the at least two distance measuring devices comprises a respective reset device that is configured to reset a counter reading.

Abstract
A vehicle information system for a motor vehicle is equipped with at least two engines, with at least two vehicle controllers each allocated to an engine. Each vehicle controller exhibits at least two distance measuring devices, which are designed to acquire the distances covered by the motor vehicle with the respective engine, a current consumption acquisition device, which is designed to acquire the current consumption of the respective engine, and an output device, which is designed to output the acquired distances and acquired current consumption.
