Fuel Cost Calculator

Fuel costs are one of the biggest expenses when managing a fleet. Each year, fuel costs fluctuate due to a number of seasonal factors. These fluctuations can cause havoc on a fleet manager’s budget since changes are often sudden and unexpected. We created a fuel cost calculator to help you estimate your annual fuel expenses based on seasonal price changes.

While creating our calculator, we researched the average fuel price changes each month over the past 28 years and found that there are typical price change trends throughout the year.
On average, fuel costs increase by a total of 14.9% during the months leading up to summer, then decrease by 8.6% during the second half of the year.  Overall, fuel costs increase by an average of 6.2% each year.  This research is based on data collected by The Automobile Association of America (AAA).

The Average Monthly Fuel Price Changes are:

Fleet managers can control some of their fuel costs by implementing a telematics system like FieldLogix.  The technology can easily identify drivers that waste excessive fuel due to poor driving habits such as speeding and idling.  According to a study conducted by Motorola, fleets reduce their fuel costs by an average of 13.2% after implementing telematics.
