Fuel Efficiency - Fuel Monitoring Checks

  • Collect and retain raw data, not just averages such as miles per gallon, preferably in a computer database or spreadsheet
  • Think about better ways of collecting this information
  • Check the accuracy of odometer readings
  • Take tyre wear and rolling circumference into account to improve the accuracy of your fuel consumption calculations
  • Encourage drivers to calculate mpg figures for their own vehicles and
  • make use of any on board computers
  • Think about using fuel cards and management systems provided by oil companies and others
  • Don't Average mpg figures instead of basing your calculations on fuel used and distance travelled.
  • Don't Overfill tanks, on vehicles or bulk tanks at refueling sites (because fuel needs room to expand as it warms up).
  • Don't Rush into choosing a fuel management system by buying the first one you see.
  • Don't Forget to change fuel filters (on vehicles and bulk tanks) at recommended intervals.
  • Don't Make the excuse that you do not have time to operate any complex fuel management system; it should take less than one minute per day per vehicle to monitor fuel consumption effectively.
