Idle Time Fuel Usage

Reduce Fuel Consumption

With the cost of fuel rising by 26% already this year, reducing your fuel consumption will have a positive impact on your bottom line. The chart below shows the Daily, monthly and annual cost of fuel wasted based on each vehicle idling for just one hour per day at a price of £4.81 per gallon (£1.06 per litre) of diesel. The Road Angel Fleet Vehicle Tracking system will alert you to any excessive idling times and help you cut these unnecessary costs.

ONE HOUR OF IDLING IS COSTING YOU ON AVERAGE ONE GALLON OF FUEL

Vehicles       Daily Idling Cost          Monthly Idling Cost          Yearly Idling Cost

5                     £24.05                             £732.00                                £8778.00
10                   £48.10                             £1463.00                              £17556.00

The Hidden Expense Of Idling

Studies show that when a vehicle is left idling, it can consume one gallon of Fuel each hour.  Also that one hour of idling per day for one year results in the equivalent of 64,000 miles in engine wear when adding up all the contributing factors.

Starting from £0.26 (£0.41 for Full Live Track) per day per vehicle. Road Angel Fleet Management Systems can also offer cost benefits through reduced overtime claims with the Journey Summary Report , reduce Idle times using the Idle Time Reports, monitoring over-speeds, (A recent study has shown that those vehicles on motorway routes that do not exceed 70mph will benefit from an extra 7mpg!),  therefore, reducing fuel costs, and enhance driver/employee productivity.

A GPS Fleet Management System Will Allow You To:

• Monitor & Reduce Engine Idle Times - 1 Hour Of Idle Time = 1 Gallon Of Fuel
• Monitor Vehicle Speeds - Speeding Burns Excessive Fuel
• Ensure Drivers Are Staying On Route - Where Are Your Drivers Going On Your Fuel?

Stop Idling and save money!

“The system will pay for itself, we have totally eliminated Idle Time and private mileage which led to a reduced fuel bill, we also reduced our overtime bill using one of the many easy to read reports showing exact hours worked.”
