Check your bill
Am I overpaying for fuel?
Find out yourself in fifteen minutes. Take last month's fuel statement and work through these four steps.
Most small fleets have never done this. The number at the end is your real price per litre, including everything you were charged to get it.
Step 1
Work out your real price per litre
Add up every litre you bought last month. Add up what you paid in total, fees included. Divide the money by the litres. That number is what you actually pay, not what the sign said.
Step 2
Find every line that is not fuel
Go down the statement and mark anything that is not diesel. Card fees, transaction fees, monthly fees, statement fees, minimum charges. Add them up and look at the total for the year.
Step 3
Mark the out-of-network fills
Any fill outside your program's network is usually priced differently from the ones inside it. Count how many of your fills were outside, and what those litres cost you.
Step 4
Compare it to what you thought
Put your real price per litre next to the price you believed you were paying. The gap between those two numbers is what this exercise is for.
Your bill. Your check. Your number.
Questions
Fuel bill questions, answered straight.
- How do I know if I am overpaying for fuel?
- Divide everything you paid last month, fees included, by the litres you bought. Compare that real price per litre with the price you thought you were paying. A gap between the two is what you are overpaying.
- What fees should I look for on a fuel card statement?
- Any line that is not fuel: card fees, transaction fees, monthly fees, statement fees and minimum charges. Add them up for a month, then multiply by twelve to see the cost over a year.
- Why do fills outside the network cost more?
- A fuel card's discount usually applies only at the locations in its network. A fill outside it is often charged at a different price, so count those fills and what their litres cost you.
