A method and apparatus for identifying a cause for a fuel inefficiency of a vehicle are disclosed. For example, the method categorizes a plurality of vehicles into a plurality of peer groups, determines for each peer group a baseline of a vehicle operation efficiency, determines for each peer group a baseline of driving behavior, identifies at least one vehicle with a vehicle operation efficiency in one peer group of the plurality of peer groups that is an outlier as compared to the baseline of the vehicle operation efficiency associated with the one peer group, determines whether a driving behavior of a driver driving the at least one vehicle is an outlier as compared to the baseline of the driving behavior associated with the one peer group, and identifies a cause for the vehicle operation efficiency being an outlier.
