Fuel Prices on the Rise
Published June 24, 2025
Volatile fuel markets pressure every line of the P&L. The antidote: tighter control on consumption and smarter purchasing.
What’s Driving Prices?
Global supply constraints, FX swings, and logistics bottlenecks. While you can’t control the market, you can control usage and buying strategy.
Immediate Cost Levers
- Optimize routes to cut idle and detours.
- Right-size vehicles to loads to avoid over-spec.
- Set fuel cards with spend controls and geofencing.
- Track unauthorized fueling or siphoning events.
Longer-Term Moves
- Spec more efficient powertrains in new purchases.
- Driver coaching programs focused on eco-driving.
- Bulk purchasing where volumes justify discounts.
- Aerodynamics and tyre pressure maintenance.
