Tip for fleet managers – reduce those petrol costs!

We have done articles previously for fleet companies and about how the one cost they are all trying to keep down is fuel consumption. With prices well over £1 a litre for both diesel and petrol, its no wonder they look to cut this cost first.

Well some fleet companies are starting to cut this cost, but only by reducing the amount of business miles that they put as an allowance each year. This means not all business trips will be accounted for and only the urgent, most essential trips are done. This makes sense for fleet managers but not necessarily for the empolyees using the fleet vehicles. The plan is being run in some companies so with a combination of fuel prices getting lowered, this should be some serious money saving.

Costs of running a car have risen since 2007

I’m sure i’m not the only one noticing how much it is costing to run a car these days. With petrol prices at an all time high and tax seeming to go up little by little every year, its no surprise that its costing us more to run our cars than it did two years ago.

Statistics have officially been released to say exactly how much we are spending on our cars and its easily in the thousands. The actual cost of repairs and insurance have been kept down due to the economic climate and the recession. This is mainly due to various companies/garages competing for the business.  The last two years have been very difficult for the country with regards to money and the credit crunch but hopefully soon we will be out of it and prices will start to level out if not drop.
