Summary/Use Case

Report Summary

The Fuel By Department report provides a detailed breakdown of fuel usage and costs by department. This report includes metrics like total miles driven, miles per gallon (MPG), fuel quantity used, oil quantity, and associated costs. This information allows fleet managers to monitor fuel expenditures and identify departments with higher consumption rates. Fleet managers would find this useful as it enables them to optimize fuel usage, reduce costs, and make data-driven decisions about departmental vehicle allocation.

Use Case

  • Assess fuel and oil usage across different departments for budgeting and resource allocation.

  • Identify departments with unusually high or low fuel efficiency to optimize fuel management.

  • Evaluate cost-effectiveness of departmental fleet usage to guide future resource distribution.

  • Support sustainability initiatives by monitoring fuel consumption metrics.

  • Enable preventive measures by identifying departments with high fuel or oil consumption that may indicate maintenance needs.
