Read the first 7 Fuel Management Programs flashcards as text

  1. A fleet manager wants to reduce fuel theft through a passive monitoring approach. The BEST technology solution is:

    Answer: GPS telematics integrated with fuel card transaction data

    Correlating GPS location data with fuel card transaction locations automatically flags purchases made when the vehicle was not present.

  2. Under EPA Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), fleet operators who blend qualifying biofuels may generate:

    Answer: Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs)

    RINs are the tradeable credits generated under the RFS program for producing or blending qualifying renewable fuels.

  3. A fleet manager is comparing a fixed-price fuel contract against a spot-market purchasing strategy. The PRIMARY advantage of a fixed-price contract is:

    Answer: Budget predictability over the contract period

    Fixed-price contracts eliminate price volatility risk, allowing accurate budget forecasting regardless of market fluctuations.

  4. Which vehicle parameter has the GREATEST single impact on fleet fuel economy for light-duty trucks?

    Answer: Aerodynamic drag coefficient

    Aerodynamic drag increases exponentially with speed and is the dominant energy loss factor for light-duty trucks at highway speeds.

  5. A fleet implementing a fuel management information system (FMIS) should ensure the system integrates with:

    Answer: Vehicle maintenance records and telematics data

    Integrating FMIS with maintenance and telematics data enables full lifecycle cost analysis and identifies fuel-performance correlations.

  6. When a fleet transitions from gasoline to E85 (flex-fuel) vehicles, the fleet manager should anticipate approximately what change in fuel consumption volume?

    Answer: 15–25% increase in fuel volume consumed

    E85 has approximately 73–83% of the energy content of gasoline, so vehicles consume 15–25% more volume to travel the same distance.

  7. Which key performance indicator (KPI) would BEST reveal fuel economy degradation due to deferred vehicle maintenance?

    Answer: Year-over-year MPG trend by vehicle age cohort

    Tracking MPG trends by vehicle age cohort isolates maintenance-related degradation from fleet composition changes or fuel price effects.
