An engine is mounted in a vehicle configured to perform EV travelling. The engine includes a port injection valve that injects fuel to an intake port, a low pressure delivery pipe that stores the fuel for injection from the port injection valve, and a feed pump that compresses and thus supplies the fuel to the low pressure delivery pipe. An ECU, in the EV travelling, starts the fuel pump when a vehicle request power representing a driving power of the vehicle requested by the user exceeds a pump threshold value, and the ECU, in the EV travelling, generates a request to start the engine when the vehicle request power exceeds an engine threshold value larger than the pump threshold value.
