With global oil prices on the increase, forecourt prices for petrol and diesel have seen major jumps in the past few months.
This was further compounded by the two pence per litre (ppl) fuel duty rise, first announced in the 2007 Budget, which came into effect at the beginning of October. In fact, at the time of writing, unleaded costs around £1.02 per litre on average and diesel is around the £1.06 per litre mark. This presents a major cost issue for the public sector. A fleet of 100 diesel-powered cars, each doing 10,000 business miles per annum at 49 mpg, will now be paying out over £100,000 a year in fuel alone. Failing to control this cost can be disastrous, so any organisation that doesn’t currently use fuel cards should look long and hard at doing so. Cards represent the best way to manage fuel, thanks to in-depth management reporting that allows fleet managers to track usage and refuelling patterns, analyse areas of high cost and swiftly identify any fraud.
