“Automotive Fleet” April, 2010
“Even when comprehensive vehicle selection, right sizing, fuel card data mining, and exception report programs are deployed, effective fuel management ultimately depends on one key player:”
“THE DRIVER”

Have We Avoided Driver Training?
• Presumed efficient already?
• Perfection in Driving Habits?
• Untrainable?
• Not our Job
• Easier to address hardware than people

• Drivers Don’t Work for you
• Drivers Won’t Listen
• Drivers Don’t Care

What the Experts Say:• Excessive speed is the largest single factor in
reduced fuel mileage. Reduce speed to a reasonable level of say 60 mph and eliminate all non-essential stops. A general rule of thumb is that every mph increase above 50 mph reduces fuel mileage by 0.1 mpg. – Source - Kenworth
