How it's worked out
- Gallons a day = buses × miles per bus ÷ miles per gallon.
- Cost = gallons × price; a year = a day × days a year.
- A price change of $X a gallon changes the year's cost by gallons a year × $X.
Questions
- How do I find my real miles per gallon?
- Record the odometer at each fill-up: miles driven since the last fill ÷ gallons added. FleetCommander does this for you from fuel entries.
