Whether you just want to reduce costs or you're trying to do your bit for the environment, it's increasingly important to do everything you can to keep your business's fuel consumption down. With that in mind, here are some tips that should help you get a handle on how much fuel your business is using.

First and foremost, you need to keep track of your fuel consumption; otherwise, how are you meant to know how much you're using and areas where you can cut back?

Monitor how much is being used each month by each vehicle and driver. You should then be able to identify your most inefficient drivers and vehicles, and take steps to improve them.

Make sure your fleet is firmly in the 21st century by utilising driving technology. For instance, GPS navigation inside vehicles can help drivers plan their route before they set off, saving time, fuel and money.

Some driving techniques can waste a lot of fuel, so it pays to ensure your drivers are educated on the most effective, fuel-efficient methods of driving. You could provide annual training on driving techniques to reduce fuel consumption and offer monthly incentives for the most fuel-efficient driver.

If your vehicles aren't kept in tip-top condition, they'll almost certainly be using more fuel than they need to. Regularly service your vehicles and check their tyres. Also, when shopping for new cars or trucks, check the specifications closely to ensure you get a fuel-efficient machine, not just the cheapest model in the short term.
