Once you understand how to calculate fuel costs, you can implement strategies to reduce them. Here are 9 tips on how to reduce fleet fuel costs in 2023:
Looking to cut down on your fleet’s fuel costs? Lucky for you, there are two options that could save you a bundle. The first is implementing a preventative maintenance program that ensures each vehicle is running at its peak efficiency. By tuning up your vehicles, you could see an average increase of 4% in gas mileage – that’s nothing to sneeze at! Additionally, switching to synthetic oil can do wonders for your fuel economy. With its lower viscosity and reduced friction in the engine, your fleet could be sipping fuel like it’s going out of style. Start prioritizing preventative maintenance and see the savings start to roll in!
Idling a car can waste up to half a gallon of fuel per hour. Make sure drivers understand the significance of decreasing idling time.
Proper tire pressure reduces drag and greatly improves gas mileage.
For every 10 pounds per square inch (PSI) decrease in pressure, under-inflated tires increase gasoline consumption by up to 1%.
Looking to reduce your environmental footprint and save on fuel costs? Look no further than GPS navigation to streamline your fleet’s routes and eliminate those pesky empty miles. According to a recent report, even just a 1% decrease in empty miles for one truck can save over 100 gallons of fuel – that’s a lot of savings! So why not ensure your drivers use every mile of a truck’s journey to transport cargo, while also selecting smoother roads with fewer speed bumps to further improve your fleet’s efficiency? Your carbon footprint (and wallet) will thank you.
Driving smarter can make a big difference in your wallet and on the road. One easy way to save on fuel costs is to slow down and stay within the speed limit. When you speed, you’re not only putting yourself and others in danger, but you’re also burning more fuel due to air and tire resistance. Additionally, excessive lane changes, fast cornering, hard braking, and rapid acceleration are all culprits of wasteful fuel consumption. To increase your fuel efficiency, try to change lanes only when necessary, reduce your speed when turning, anticipate stops to brake gradually, and accelerate gradually to reduce the strain on your engine. With these simple modifications to your driving behavior, you’ll not only save money on gas, but you’ll also reduce the risk of accidents and drive more responsibly on the road.
Fuel cards can help you save money on gas at authorized gas outlets. The Fuelman Deep Saver Fleet Card, for example, provides discounts of up to 8 cents per gallon at over 50,000 participating gas locations. Check to see if the fuel stations your drivers frequent take credit cards. These accounts provide more than just savings. They also make it simple to:

Are you looking for ways to reduce your fuel costs and become more eco-friendly? You might want to consider using biodiesel, a renewable fuel made from animal fats, cooking grease, and vegetable oils. Biodiesel not only saves money but also helps fleets stay up to code with state and federal emissions regulations.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are another great option, with their high fuel economy. However, they can be pricey to purchase. Fear not! There are government incentives available that can bring down the cost. In the end, embracing alternative fuels and EVs can not only be good for your wallet but also for the planet.
