Gas Fleet Cars
If you are interested in conserving gas, fleet cars are a touchy subject. If your company uses fleet cars there are some ways to make the costs more affordable. The first step is to look at what kind of vehicles you are using and if they are the best choice economically. Next you may want to think about providing your drivers with gas fleet cards which are preloaded with a certain amount of money so they can pay at the pump. And, you will definitely want to educate your drivers on various fuel conservation techniques which will help your bottom line.
For example, during the winter months a vehicle should be warmed up no longer than 45 seconds. Some people will let their cars idle for up to 20 minutes trying to 'warm up' the vehicle. All this does is waste gas and makes no difference in the performance of the car. Another tip is to keep the windows up whenever possible. Driving with the windows down has a slightly detrimental effect on gas mileage. In addition, it is important to keep tires inflated to their maximum capacity but do not overinflate. Tune ups should be done regularly because various components under the hood can make a difference in mileage also.
Spark plugs which are dirty or worn can negatively affect mileage. There are actually gas saving spark plugs you can buy which aren't going to make a gigantic difference but will make a small one. Most gas saving strategies each equal small savings, but lots of small savings can eventually add up to a substantial savings. This is definitely what you want if you are a fleet owner struggling with the high cost of fuel in today's shaky economy. There are plenty of online resources you can use such as those by the FTC and EPA that will teach you more fuel saving tips.
When conserving gas, fleet cars are a special case because there are more than one of them. You may want to distribute literature to your drivers or hold a conference on how to conserve fuel. The little things you can do to save fuel may not sound like much but as mentioned previously they can really add up. You will find those preloaded gas fleet cards are being used less and more money is going into your business rather than into a gas tank.
