Method notes 3 notes
  • Route fuel uses distance / MPG. Idle fuel adds idle hours times idle burn rate.
  • Period totals multiply fuel per trip by vehicles, trips per vehicle per day and operating days.
  • This is an operating-cost screen. Dispatch variability, payload, terrain, weather, driver behavior, maintenance condition, deadhead miles, tax treatment and fuel hedging are not modeled.
