            FLEET FUEL SAVINGS CALCULATOR    
                         
  The GEOTAB fleet solution will result in payback in under 12 months. Payback is even faster when more time during the day is found for invoiced projects. In addition, GEOTAB alerts risk management of harsh braking and over-speeding. GEOTAB improves maintenance scheduling and provides an audit trail of driving activity as required by government.

  TARGET 10% to 15% FUEL COST SAVINGS  
  What does one mile of driving cost your operation? Use the calculator below to find savings by reducing miles driven.  
  Keep tires properly inflated, rotated and replaced. Proper tire inflation increases fuel economy by as much as 5%.   
  Don't Idle when stopped. 1 gallon of fuel is burned when an engine idles for approximately 1 hour at rest (900 RPM).  
  Watch your speed. At speeds above 60 mph, the fuel loss is about 1% for every 2 mph increase in speed.  
  Keep your car tuned. Proper tuning not only increases fuel economy by up to 10%, but it also reduces air pollution.   
  Use your air conditioner wisely. Air conditioners can increase your fuel consumption by up to 12% in stop-and-go traffic.  
  Unnecessary weight wastes fuel. Every 100 lbs (45 kg) of extra weight consumes 1% more fuel.  
                         
  MONTHLY FUEL SAVINGS - REDUCE DISTANCE DRIVEN BY MONITORING ROUTE AND PERSONAL TRIPS  
                         
        Step 1: Calculate Fuel Cost per Mile       Step 2: Distance Driven per Vehicle  
    Average Gallons Purchased Per Month   118   Estimated Miles Driven Per Vehicle Per Month 1,750 21000 annual
    Average Cost per Gallon   $3.00   If Estimated Monthly Miles are < 1000 then   5%  
    Average Monthly Fuel Purchases   $354   if Monthly Miles are > 1000 and <1500 then   7%  
    Average Miles Driven per Month   1,750   if Monthly Miles are > 1500 then   210 12%  
              Distance Savings   210 miles  
                         
  Average Running Cost Per Mile   $0.202   Est. Monthly Fuel Savings Per Vehicle $42.48    
                         
  MONTHLY FUEL SAVINGS - REDUCE ENGINE IDLING - SAVE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS  
                         
  Idling gets you nowhere…turn off your engine…save fuel, save engine wear, save maintenance, reduce SMOG  
        Step 3: Calculate Engine Idle Time     Vehicle Type Savings    Idle Savings (Hours)    
              Light Duty Vehicles 6%   4.8    
  Estimated engine hours are based on miles driven divided by an estimated average of 22 mph speed   Engine hours     Medium Duty Vehicles 12%   9.5    
    80     Heavy Duty Vehicles 20%   15.9    
                     
        Monthly Fuel Savings Per Vehicle by Reducing Idle time   $14.32 Light Duty Vehicle
                         
  MONTHLY FUEL SAVINGS - REDUCE HIGHWAY SPEEDING - REDUCE ACCIDENT CLAIMS  
                         
  Fuel loss is about 1% for every 2 miles per hour increase in speed over 60 mph  
  Additional benefit of reducing highway speed is reducing accident claims and traffic violations primarily due to rear end collisions. The GEOTAB system reports harsh braking to notify managers of drivers that require driving training. Harsh braking and over-speeding equals higher fuel expense and higher risk of collision and the resulting personal injury.   
   
   
                         
  WHAT IS TIME WORTH TO YOU?  
                         
  You've just saved each driver 30 minutes each day through more efficient routing, driving and less idling.   
  What is that time worth to you? ...an extra invoiced sale per day, less overtime paid, one less vehicle you need to buy? We'll show you that simply based on the conservative numbers we've provided on this sheet that the GEOTAB system pays for itself in less than 12 months or, if leased, payback is realized immediately.  
   
   
                         
  Is the value of 30 extra minutes per vehicle each day worth a buck? $1   $21.00   21 days/month    
               
  SAVINGS SUMMARY  
        Distance   Idling   Productivity   Total    
    Monthly Savings   $42.48   $14.32   $21.00   $78

This document is not an offer to sell, lease or finance GEOTAB systems nor is it a guarantee of payback. Payback results must be achieved through behavior modification leading to savings. GEOTAB's high resolution information reports provide the best opportunity to retrain and modify behavior based on the quality information gathered. Statistics and percentages are a composite of information available http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/ , www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/pubs/fueleconomy.htm and the 2008 GEOTAB White Paper on reducing fleet idling.
