the vehicles• Update all staff on cheapest places to buy fuel.

What will we measure

• We collected– Price for fuel– Mileage– Quantity of Fuel

• We worked out– Cost per litre (by diving quantity by price)

• We considered using miles per litre but decided not to because of the variation on journey distance would effect the findings.

Cost Savings

• From the graph it can be seen that the difference in most expensive and cheapest fuel costs has been brought down from a difference of £0.10 to £0.04, which is a percentage saving of 60%.*

• This equals £40.52** monthly saving in December

• If we can maintain this every month we can calculate a £486.19 annual saving for the company***. *Difference in May = £0.10. Difference in Dec = £0.04. over all percentage saving = 60% calculate using the formula below:

=(0.10-0.04)/0.10 = 60%

**Difference in Dec = 0.01 * Amount Paid = £920.95. Overall calculated using formula: =0.04*920.95 = £40.52

***Dec savings = 40.52. Annual prediction calculated using formula: =40.52*12
